Course Overview
Mordor Intelligence have estimated that the market for XR will grow from USD 26.05 billion in the year 2020 to USD 463.7 billion by the year 2026. This is a 63 % CAGR. So the field is quite promising. The Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality certification course offers a comprehensive curriculum that takes candidates through XR technologies. The students will gain valuable insights from MIT faculties as well as industry leaders.
The Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality certification course by Emeritus and MIT takes the candidates through crucial XR (Extended Reality) concepts. This will enhance their skills in XR system elements. The candidates will learn about various processes, approaches and design principles. They will also develop the skills to consider requirements of clients in XR design and incorporate them into specific applications in Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. Thus the candidates will be better positioned to conceive XR system ideas, communicate them with developers, and make recommendations to clients and other key stakeholders. The candidates taking the in a nutshell will learn to define, visualize, and pitch your XR game concept.
