“NEWVIEW”, a joint project by Psychic VR Lab (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), which provides the VR/AR/MR creative platform STYLY (https://styly.cc), PARCO CO. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), and Loftwork Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), will open the NEWVIEW SCHOOL (hosted by Psychic VR Lab Inc.) Taiwan School in July 2021, where students can learn XR* as a comprehensive art form.
*xR is a generic term for technologies that provide new experiences by combining the real world with the virtual world, such as VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality).
Through the summer and fall courses, we aim to create experiences where the real and virtual worlds are linked.
- 1 Exploring experiences where the real and virtual interact using sensor devices
- 2 Summer Lecture “Creation of VR and alt-controller (alternative controller)” (July 3 – August 28)
- 3 Fall Lecture “Creation through Interaction between AR and Realistic Environments” (Aug. 22 – Oct. 16)
