Immersive Media Overview
Students in the immersive media program will help create the future as we push together towards the edge of where technology is going. We will find new ways to tell stories, build meaningful interactions, design new ways of doing work, and create worlds we’ve never seen. We focus on collaborative work, design thinking, inclusive and accessible design, and producing meaningful projects to make sure that when you leave you are ready for what’s ahead.
—DOUG NORTH COOK, assistant professor

Building a Virtual Reality
Chatham University's immersive media program is dedicated to building immersive experiences for virtual and augmented reality that are compelling, believable, and desired by employers in a range of industries.

Access to Cutting-Edge Technology
IMM students have access to cutting edge virtual reality and augmented reality hardware, including their own VR-ready laptop and Oculus Quest 2 headset, which is theirs to keep after the program ends. The lab contains a variety of VR and AR devices from Sony, HP, Oculus, HTC, Valve, Magic Leap, Microsoft, Tilt Five, and others. Core software programs include real-time 3D game engines Unity and Unreal Engine, and students also learn Adobe Creative Cloud, Blender & Maya, a variety of creative 3D and audio tools, and a variety of programming languages including C#, C++, Python, and more.

Learning in Practice
Chatham Eastside, where our program’s state-of-the-art classroom, studio, and exhibition spaces reside, is recognized as a LEED Silver renovation project that manifests sustainable design practices and uses recycled materials and energy-efficient lighting to create a green academic and social space in an urban setting.

Integrated Degree Program with MHI
Qualified IMM students who are interested in working with immersive media and virtual reality in the healthcare arena may enter Chatham’s online Master of Science in Healthcare Informatics (MHI) program as an Integrated Degree Program, taking graduate courses during senior year and saving money and speeding time to graduation with both B.A. and M.S. degrees. The MHI program blends technology and healthcare to solve problems and optimize care.
