12 Month Diploma | Full-Time or Part-Time
Design and Develop AR, VR & MR applications and solutions using Unity and Unreal Engines
Unreal Engine Authorised Training Centre
MAGES Institute is a leading Virtual Reality School in Singapore conducting Professional Certificate and Short Courses for both Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. MAGES’ Virtual Reality Course teaches the basics of Virtual Reality using Unity Engine (with C# Programming) or Unreal Engine (with C++ Programming), and creating an experience to deliver or convey the desired message/emotion and solve a real-world problem. Students are able to differentiate between benefits and shortcomings of available VR platforms, and identify the building blocks of any VR Experience. With premier AR/VR Training at MAGES, students will be able to design their own virtual interactive environment that effectively communicates a scenario or a narrative aspect. Students will also learn to balance the technicalities of the chosen platform such as graphical fidelity, interactivity and user experience using 6 Degrees of Freedom while developing their narrative experience.
MAGES Institute is a premier Augmented Reality Institute in Singapore conducting Professional Certification MR Course (called XR Immersive) along with AR Course and VR Classes (6 weeks each). MAGES AR Course covers the basics of Augmented Reality using Unity Engine and C# Programming for scripting, including creating and setting up markers in an immersive environment, and implementing it in a functional AR application designed to solve a real-world problem. Students would utilise technical knowledge such as interface wireframes, markers and placements, and combine them with the principles of design and interaction to create a functioning Augmented Reality application. The Application would also take into account immersion techniques such as sound and appropriate quality visuals, while balancing the technical needs with hardware limitations applicable today. This foundational knowledge of Augmented Reality will allow students to understand the constituents of an AR experience and effectively develop their own AR App.
Explore the limitless possibilities of immersive technologies integrated with AI with our 12 months XR Immersive Program, and create for the era of Spatial Computing!
Acquire the foundational skills necessary to craft extraordinary AR/VR solutions leveraging cutting edge softwares and engines including the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3. Harness the power of Generative AI and deliver interactive experiences building interactive solutions for industries like healthcare, gaming, education, and more.
Through hands-on mentorship with experienced Unity Certified and Unreal Authorized Trainers, learn the core skills and techniques for designing and developing AR, VR & MR applications and solutions.
