VR (Virtual Reality) is a simulated experience that allows a user to explore a digitally created 3D world by wearing a head-mounted display and some form of input tracking to monitor their movements. AR (Augmented Reality) is the result of using technology to superimpose data – sound, images and graphics – onto the real world around you.
Create captivating new worlds and immersive experiences through the magic of virtual and augmented reality.
MDS was the first school in New Zealand to offer a dedicated stream focusing on two of the world’s biggest emerging technologies: VR and AR. Since then, our students and alumni have gone on to build extraordinary games, in-demand educational tools, virtual cultural experiences and more. Whether you choose to work with VR/AR in one of our Design or Games degrees or go more in-depth with our specialised GDCT stream, you’ll be collaborating with our expert faculty, who live and breathe this tech and who will give you all the tools you need to bring your ideas to life.
