This tutorial teaches how to build a 3D structure out of primitive GameObjects in Unity. You will create an empty GameObject called "Monument" to act as a parent container. Then you will add multiple cube GameObjects as children and organize them in a stepped pyramid shape by duplicating and transforming the cubes. The goal is to practice manipulating GameObjects, their hierarchy, and navigating 3D scenes.

K2P workshop 3-23-13FakeGreenDress

Kinect motion capture allows filmmakers to capture full-body motion and facial animation data using a Kinect sensor. The KinectToPin software records 3D skeletal tracking data from the Kinect and exports it to After Effects where it can be used to drive 2D character rigs. Rigging characters involves breaking them into multiple layers that map to the tracked joints, allowing for natural movement and animation. Motion capture with Kinect provides a more efficient workflow than traditional frame-by-frame animation by starting with live-action movement that can then be applied to animated characters.

Game Engine for Serious GamesKashif Shamaun

Game engines control the presentation of a game world by managing geometry, textures, 3D sound, physics simulation, artificial intelligence, network traffic, and other elements. A game engine converts 3D models into 2D images using an image generator. Modern image generators use parallel processing and pipelining across multiple graphics processing units to render complex 3D scenes in real-time with high resolution and frame rates. Key performance aspects of image generators include caching, update rates, levels of detail, antialiasing, blend zones, and polygonal capacity.

Integrating Mixed Reality Pedagogy into EducationBond University

Technology disruption and automation are driving rapid changes in the jobs landscape. This presentation highlights the latest research and reports of the future jobs market and our work in the mixed reality research lab in focusing the education landscape towards new technologies. The aim is to highlight the need for rethinking our classrooms and adopting a research led mindset to reskilling, retraining and technology adoption. This presentation builds upon the work of The Mixed Reality Research Lab (www.mixedrealityresearch.com) as it looks to weave technology into the fabric of the classroom and establish mixed reality pedagogy as an evidenced learning method and not just another technology gimmick.

Weaving technology into the fabric of the classroom: Future jobsBond University

This document discusses how learners need to prepare for future jobs and the changing skills landscape. It notes that while some job titles may remain the same, the nature of work will change and new skills will be required. These include communication, creative thinking, problem solving, agility, and digital skills. The document highlights emerging jobs like creating robot personalities and careers in esports. It emphasizes that just because millennials are prolific technology users does not mean they have deep skills, and explicit teaching is needed to develop skills like entrepreneurship that will help thrive in new environments.

This presentation builds upon the work of The Mixed Reality Research Lab (www.mixedrealityresearch.com), as well as the work of the Collaborative Research & Engagements Around Technology and Education Lab (www.thecreatelab.org), over the last few years, looking specifically at the use of Robotics and Mixed Reality - incorporating 3d printing, augmented reality and mobile BYOD devices - to enhance Skills Development & Education. Using the applications produced by these two labs as case studies, the talk was presented at the Australian Independent Schools Digital Collaboration Networks - ICT Managers Forum on the 26th May 2017 and provided participants with knowledge of the basics of how mixed reality is used, as well as how robotics is implemented through the NAO robot; together with insight into how pedagogy and technology can be weaved into the STEAM infrastructure to implement a mixed reality, mobile device, and/or robotics solution into a STEAM classroom for a specific discipline.

Using Gamification and Mixed Reality Visualization to Improve Conceptual Unde...Bond University

This paper presents a research design and intervention that investigates how the use of mixed reality visualization and gamification can be applied to an ICT systems analysis and design course. The research focuses on a learning approach of an ICT modelling and design framework based on visual augmentation of traditional course content and class delivery. Assessment of the learning impact in regards to learners, system components and their interaction in system scenarios will be performed. Allowing learners to explore and discover information in the form of a gamified scavenger hunt that supports scaffolding learning chunks, aims to assist them towards a conceptual understanding of the solution. Educators can incorporate selected representations of key learning artefacts and resources in an augmented capacity using a variety of media such as 2d images, videos, animation, simulations, and 3d models applied into the design process and promote active learning in the classroom.

Piloting Mixed Reality in ICT Networking to Visualize Complex Theoretical Mul...Bond University

This paper presents insights from the implementation of a mixed reality intervention using 3d printed physical objects and a mobile augmented reality application in an ICT networking classroom. The intervention aims to assist student understanding of complex theoretical multi-step problems without a corresponding real world physical analog model. This is important because these concepts are difficult to conceptualise without a corresponding mental model. The simulation works by using physical models to represent networking equipment and allows learners to build a network that can then be simulated using a mobile app to observe underlying packet traversal and routing theory between the different devices as data travels from the source to the destination. Outcomes from usability testing show great student interest in the intervention and a feeling that it helped with clarity, but also demonstrated the need to scaffold the use of the intervention for students rather than providing a freeform experience in the classroom.

Towards a Pedagogy of Comparative Visualization in 3D Design DisciplinesBond University

Spatial visualisation skills and interpretations are critical in the design professions, but traditionally difficult to effectively teach. Visualization and multimedia presentation studies show positive improvements in learner outcomes for specific learning domains. But the development and translation of a comparative visualization pedagogy between disciplines is poorly understood. This research seeks to identify an approach to developing comparable multimodal and interactive visualizations and attendant student reflections for curriculum designers in courses that can utilize visualizations and manipulations. Results from previous use of comparative multimodal visualization pedagogy in a multimedia 3D modelling class are used as a guide to translation of pedagogy to architecture design. The focus is how to guide the use of comparative multimodal visualizations through media properties, lesson sequencing, and reflection to inform effective instruction and learning.
