Speaker: Michael Haller (FHS Hagenberg, Austria)
Media Technology and Design (MTD) is a 4-year engineering program focused on technical and creative aspects of digital media. MTD is one of several IT-related programs offered by the College of Engineering at Hagenberg as part of the Upper Austrian University of Applied Sciences (Europe).
The engineering part of the MTD curriculum includes audio/video technology, computing, networking and multi-media programming as core subjects, with a careful balance of basic and selected in-depth material.
The design part of the program starts out with elementary drafting techniques, study of shape and color, art and media history, typography, sound, and music; this is followed by advanced subjects such as multi-media design, audio and video design, 3D modeling and animation, media production and experimental media.
The Media Technology and Design (MTD) curriculum focuses on three broad areas:
- Multimedia
- 3D computer graphics and animation
- Internet/WWW
The talk describes activities of MTD concerning computer graphics, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality. We will give a short overview of the courses and show some student projects. Finally, we will describe the European founded project AMIRE (Authoring Mixed Reality).
