Real-time VFX is a type of dynamic animation used to add polish and breathe life into a game. It encompasses anything that moves that isn’t a character or an object, and is typically split into two categories; gameplay effect and environment effect.

This theory-based course focuses on how digital technologies have shaped how we perceive, experience, and interact with urban environments. By applying theory from urban aesthetics and games studies, students will focus on gaming mechanics and technology encountered in urban areas and how these technologies can help reimagine public social spaces as playful cities. Specific topics include ‘serious-gamification’, technology and the natural environment, hostile design, and playable cities.
