The Master in Interactive Media and System crosses the arts with emerging technologies exploring innovative solutions for multimedia contexts, from virtual reality explorations to augmented reality apps, from performance animation to interactive systems, form videogames to videomapping, from Internet of Things to digital storytelling. This master degree challenges the students to be imaginative and develop creative ideas in the digital media world.
Through a Steam based approach, students are empowered to be curious and seek creative solutions to challenges. Students develop a strong conceptual thinking, learn tools to master interactive media contents, and develop cross-media skills. There are two main research fields in this Masters, namely the development of ubiquitous systems and the production of interactive media.
