Motion Capture
Gaming / Virtual Reality Development Course Description
The Gaming and Virtual Reality Development course introduces students to the exciting world of interactive digital experiences, combining professional game development techniques with immersive VR technology. Using Epic Unreal Engine, the industry-standard platform, students learn to design, build, and animate 3D worlds, characters, and gameplay mechanics. The course also incorporates the latest VR headsets, allowing learners to create and explore fully interactive environments. This hands-on program provides students with the foundational skills and creative problem-solving abilities needed to develop engaging games, simulations, and virtual experiences, preparing them for careers in gaming, VR, and digital media.
Body and face motion graphics using Metahumans allow creators to produce incredibly realistic digital characters that move, speak, and express emotion just like real people.
Semester A
By capturing facial expressions, body movements, and gestures, students can animate Metahuman characters with lifelike precision inside Unreal Engine. This technology bridges the gap between animation and live performance, giving students the power to bring digital actors to life for films, games, music videos, and immersive experiences. The process teaches essential skills in character rigging, performance capture, and animation workflows—skills used across today’s top studios.
Semester B
Using Metahumans also introduces students to the future of storytelling and digital media. With detailed facial controls, advanced skin textures, and natural human motion, Metahumans offer a professional-level toolset that empowers young creators to build cinematic scenes without expensive equipment or large crews. Students learn how to integrate their captured performances with virtual environments, camera movements, sound, and visual effects, resulting in polished digital productions. This skillset prepares them for rising careers in virtual production, VR/AR development, game design, animation, and beyond—giving them a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving digital world.
