Course Introduction 01
COURSE INTRO
Course Introduction 01
From the metaverse to Apple Vision Pro, from the globally popular AR Pokémon to MR technology-enhanced journeys through the solar system. Spatial computing and mixed reality technology are reshaping the way we interact with the digital world, presenting new challenges for future designers: how to create intuitive and natural interaction experiences in a blended virtual and physical environment? How to leverage spatial perception and environmental understanding to design more immersive products? When meaningful narratives are constructed in three-dimensional space, another reality will be born from our hands.
"DesignX Spatial Computing and Mixed Reality Design" will comprehensively introduce you to the core concepts, technological principles, and design principles of spatial computing and mixed reality from both theoretical and practical dimensions. The course covers the complete design process from brainstorming to prototype development, where you will flexibly use design thinking and speculative design to expand creativity and imagine new realities; and utilize user research and demand analysis methods to deeply understand target users' behavior patterns and needs in mixed reality environments, transforming ideas into viable product solutions. In the practical segment, you will have the opportunity to use industry-leading development tools such as Unity, ARKit, Bezi, etc. to hands-on create mixed reality prototypes and explore mixed reality-based narrative and expression techniques, creating more engaging virtual space experiences.

At the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned by completing a full mixed reality application or game prototype, including core processes such as brainstorming, research, prototyping, and iteration.
*The type and content of the final output will be based on the product created by the explorer after participating in the capstone project X-Capstone.

"What XA has brought to me, the improvement of CS literacy goes without saying, but what I am more grateful for is being able to meet the top and most outstanding peers of my age. I have seen living MIT, CIT students, consulted TAs who can do nothing but debug, and also gained a bunch of board game friends. Perhaps saying that my dream is to change the world will be laughed at by people, but XA has given me the confidence to turn my dreams into reality."
This road is long, and the places to go are filled with poetry and ideals. The tears and sweat left behind yesterday make me more tenacious and courageous now. This is what XA has taught me: we can always be a little braver."

Wei Yichen Nicole
2024 - 2025 Academic Teaching Assistant
Versatile Designer, Design Partner at a Startup
Washington University in St. Louis, Major in Visual Communications, Minor in Human-Computer Interaction
A versatile designer, primarily focused on UI/UX in daily work, passionate about integrating design thinking with technological innovation. Currently studying at Washington University in St. Louis, majoring in Visual Communications and minoring in Human-Computer Interaction. Earlier this year, I took a leave of absence as a design partner to fully engage with a Web3 startup and explore cutting-edge applications of blockchain technology. I am currently actively seeking new entrepreneurial opportunities and learning full-stack and smart contract development. I have a passion for classic films and art history, have hosted a personal art exhibition, and led a team to create installations by the seaside.
Zhang Ruohan Mavis
2024 Academic Teaching Assistant
University of Southern California IYA School, Bachelor of Arts, Technology, and Business Innovation
An interdisciplinary creator focusing on creative thinking and experience design, passionate about visualizing and conveying interesting ideas to others — I get inspired to be inspiring. I enjoy learning and trying out new technologies in different design fields, committed to exploring commonalities and shared languages across disciplines. I have participated in projects involving UI/UX design for VR games and MR social platforms, as well as user research in the Future Lab at Tsinghua University. I believe that interaction design can connect everything, building bridges between the inner self and the outside world, the present and the future. My personal interests include music, illustration, and multi-sensory experiences.
