Metaverse Theater Lighting Training for EMIA2500A Students

An innovative teaching app on metaverse theater lighting training is developed based on a project “Art Mirror” by a group of PhD students. MTPC invites their programmer to take part in the app development, which aims to explore the potential of metaverse for technical theater arts education.

The app emulates the physical lighting setup and environment of the Shaw Auditorium. It lets students taking the course create their own lighting design using a metaverse space via VR goggles. Instead of having students take turns on the physical lighting panel, multiple students can now practice what they are learning in class simultaneously through this immersive technology.

Support for Innovative Classes

MTPC provided support to create new learning possibilities. In Fall 2023, the Metaverse Design Thinking course (EMIA6500C) brought together students from Hong Kong and Guangzhou campuses in a shared metaverse space for the first time. Using 15 sets of VR goggles in MTPC’s Digital Learning Studio, the instructor and students from both campuses appeared in class inside a virtual classroom as avatars, creating a learning environment that is literally without boundaries.
