Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) was delighted to recently showcase some of their online Masters student’s phenomenal and innovative project work from the MSc in Computer Animation and the MSc in Computer Games and Extended Reality. These incredible creations were shown as part of a live stream showcase using Microsoft Teams.
This virtual event facilitated the presentation of a diverse variety of sensational projects including animation, games and extended reality designs were introduced, showing imaginative use of VFX, immersive storytelling and a convergence of emerging technologies.
