3D Stereoscopic Media MA / MSc
43
This course gives you access to cutting-edge media technologies to develop and deliver immersive 3D media to new platforms .
Futures There is a growing need for 3D stereoscopic content producers and broadcast professionals with a deep understanding of workflow and creation in the media industry .
The Course 3D Stereoscopic Media provides you with a grounded and deep exploration of the area . Working with industry professionals and specialist S3D technology and platform providers , the course encourages the examination of all sides of the stereoscopic 3D story . This includes an understanding of the perceptual science and human vision theory as well as capture and display technologies looking at the biology , psychology and the technology behind the current wave of innovation .
You will combine forces with students from a wide variety of creative and technical backgrounds through a series of collaborative projects to design and build rich 3D content , applying a core understanding of the nature of stereo perception in 3D output . Content will be repurposed for multiple platforms , from point-of-sale lenticular screens to 3D cinema , exploring at the same time how narrative and storytelling can be enhanced through stereoscopic production and delivery .
The course covers the history of stereoscopic 3D through to the roles played by modern content and technology companies . You will engage with production processes and workflows for multiple platforms including specialist content management , production and post-production techniques .
Unit 1 : Technology Issues In the Technology Issues unit you will have the opportunity to prototype ideas and engage with industry standard processes , techniques and technology relevant to 3D Stereoscopic Media .
Unit 2 : Research Process The Research Process unit will enable you to deepen your conceptual thinking and technical application through the development of your individual practice .
Unit 3 : Business and Innovation The business context of new technologies has transformed the relationships between traditional film , video and digital formats .
Unit 4 : Concept and Prototyping The Concept and Prototyping unit will develop your main concepts with reference to theoretical and business contexts .
Unit 5 : Major Project The Major Project unit represents the culmination of a student ’ s investigation and the final stage of the research strategy . This is a substantial piece of self-managed work that is underpinned by advanced practicebased methodologies and processes .
