International Master in Virtual Reality Production (IMVRP), funded by European Commission ERASMUS+ program, will create a new profile of professionals able to combine advanced technical computing abilities with strong creative skills, in response to industry needs; it will fulfill the gap between University education and the relevant labor needs, reinforcing and broaden the collaboration with industry and increasing employment opportunities.
The study program combines computer science, visual arts, acting, film, VR video production and 360° news reporting; the core of teaching will be the new media and interdisciplinary field of producing Virtual Reality movies and applications, news reporting in 360° video, filming 360° video and developing new film language grammar, as well as new interaction techniques in VR.
This project will design a two years Bologna compliant Master Study program in VRP that combines technical with artistic knowledge and qualifies all different members of VRP team, namely story-writers, computer animators, visual artists and programmers, providing them adequate education and making them ready to integrate in professions. IMVRP will be full-time and run over 24 months.
It will be taught in English by staff of the four HEI partner institutions, by high-profile visiting scholars and a creative industry organization active in implementing projects applying VRP. During the 2-years students move among four Universities in three different countries, in the 2nd semester of the 2nd year they will do practical work on the VR project with industry partner and, if successful, they will grant a Joint Degree by partners HEI.
