3D Technology Program Launched
Lansing Community College invited students, employees and the community to a
preview of the new interactive three-dimensional (i3D) programming in an IMAX
theater environment on September 17.
The newly built learning center boasts a 9 foot x16 foot screen, seating for 65,
and a powerful sound system. The new i3D technology combines 3-D computer
graphics with sound, video, animation dimensional drawing, and human interaction
creating a multi-sensory teaching and learning experience. A separate computer
lab is available for individualized hands-on learning opportunities for
students.
“The examples of 3-D in healthcare, the automotive industry, construction, law
enforcement and teaching are limitless,” said LCC President Brent Knight. “This
cutting edge i3D learning experience will help prepare LCC students to pursue
careers in informational design or as 3-D simulation modeling technicians.”
The technology is part of a newly created certificate program in the Business,
Media, Art, and Information Technology (BMIT) division in the Art, Design and
Multimedia program. The program begins with two new courses: a 2D Information
Design course and an Introduction to Simulated Reality, using EON Reality
hardware & software that powers the i3D learning experience.
The new digital material will be designed for inclusion in existing and new
programs for the classroom, e-Learning and professional improvement, as well as
enhancing marketing capabilities for Lansing Community College.
