The first course in a two-semester senior capstone sequence. During IMDM490 students will research, design and prototype a large-scale immersive media design project, in preparation for fully implementing and exhibiting the project in IMDM491 Capstone II. Students will have the opportunity to apply design and technical skills they have acquired in previous courses as well as focus on the organizational and production skills needed for a substantial, longer term project to achieve an artistic or technical goal.
