Jumpstart Minis are bite-sized hands-on workshops for learning and discovering immersive technology such as augmented reality, virtual reality (VR) and 360 VR. There are also workshops on designing computer graphics for immersive tech.
Jumpstart Minis are open to all current NUS students and staff with a valid NUSNET account, who are new to immersive technology. :)
You get to discover immersive technology and learn some introductory skills to develop your own immersive tech experience. You can also get input from us as you create your own immersive tech output.
They are usually conducted every semester. Look out for NUS Libraries' email announcements!
Sessions are typically conducted at the Tech Central, Central Library Level 4.
Each workshop is designed to last between 1-2 hours.
Physical workshops:
Each workshop will be limited to 30 participants to manage the hands-on experience.
