Virtual Reality

Navigate and create VR environments.

This course is ideal for students who are curious about immersive technology and want to explore how virtual reality can be used for discovery, creativity, and interactive design. The class is designed around a variety of short projects, apps, games, and discussion topics.

Students travel through scientific simulations, historical worlds, art studios, and puzzle environments while learning how VR experiences are constructed. They also model 3D objects, experiment with Unity tools, and ultimately design an interactive VR environment of their own. Fairfax Collegiate provides computers and Meta Quest VR headsets for student use, and students work in pairs throughout the course.

At the end of the course, instructors upload photos and videos for families to access. Students leave with a completed VR project and the confidence to continue exploring VR technology, 3D modeling, and interactive design.
