Approaches for leveraging real-time graphics, virtual production technologies to bring the visual richness, diversity and fidelity of bespoke teaching venues into the realm of teleconference-based, distanced learning. A variety of readily accessible tools and implementations are presented that dramatically enhance the experience of teaching and learning through common teleconferencing platforms.

Jettison, along with the entire OnBoardXR festival, is produced and performed live entirely in virtual reality using the open-source Mozilla Hubs platform. These shows took place in a virtual representation of a theater, leveraging the shared conventions of live theatrical performance to simplify the challenge of onboarding the audience: knowing how to behave in a real world theater translates intuitively to behavior in a virtual theater. At the same time, our production process mimicked that of real world theater, with very close parallels in the application of traditional theatrical skills and practices – with the main difference being that our cast and crew were all fully remote. Finally, the Hubs platform allows audiences to view the show on a range of hardware from VR HMDs to tablets and phones. Put together, our process represents a model by which independent theater companies can create productions using familiar techniques and skills, and present it for distributed audiences who don't have dedicated hardware. Ours was an approach of utilizing the latest virtualization technology to allow access to the widest range of audience possible, all from a bare-bones production budget. Unlike other approaches to virtual or online theater, the work of Jettison and its OnBoardXR is an attempt to, as closely as possible, replicate the experience of attending a show in a real world theater – an experience unavailable over the past year. In this talk we will describe our process and learnings.

Visual effects is a multi-disciplinary medium—how can we support the next generation of artists to engage deeply with animation, compositing, effects, and lighting in order to produce emotionally and visually compelling narrative work? How do we bridge the gulf between specialties that require an entire career to master? These are the key challenges we face in teaching the Master of Design Technology (MDT), a one-year graduate level program.

In the first assignment of a class entitled “Creative Coding”, students are asked to convert a pre-existing 2D illustration into an interactive digital interpretation, as an introduction to the general elements of coding and computer graphics in 2D environments. The majority of students taking this class have never coded in their lives, turning this assignment into an ideal introduction to principles of computer programming. Javascript, a very accessible and forgiving scripting language, is used to study the visual properties of real time graphic development on the HTML5 Canvas Object on any capable browser. Using a basic coding shell and any text editor, students learn about variables, coordinates, elemental shapes, quadratic and Bézier curves, RGB color definitions, linear and radial gradients, random elements, etc., in a new approach to drawing through code, that questions and challenges traditional analog illustration paradigms.

Industry panelists discuss measures that students can take to prepare for entering creative careers in computer graphics and interactive techniques. In the wake of global pandemic, creative industries have transformed. While certain aspects of hiring and recruitment processes remain unfazed, others have fundamentally changed. Transformed workplace cultures and new technologies present opportunities for alternative and de-habituated career paradigms. Simultaneously, new pathways present unforeseen challenges. Creative industry representatives discuss the general and specific state of affairs within their respective fields and provide insight into changing employment models. Discussion includes advice for educators to help prepare students for a variety of transforming career scenarios, as well as the preparation, training, and attributes students need to enter related fields. Panelists will consider the qualities underlying desirable entry-level applicants in their respective fields and elaborate upon changes in the transition from school to work resulting from the global pandemic. Represented industry segments include animation, interactive/experience design, computer graphics research, and virtual production. Questions considered include how schools and educators can help prepare students for successful transitions into creative careers; what entry-level applicants should have (and should not have) on resumes, portfolios, and demo reels; and what can students do on their own to proactively acquire requisite credentials. Discussion will expose fresh outlooks on the futures of creative fields in computer graphics and interactive techniques.

Media technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), have begun to revolutionize. Consequently, the seamless presentation of media, such as animation, film, and games, has developed remarkably. This integration of advanced media and experiences into the educational environment offers great potential[Mones 2017]. In a similar vein, we believe that such integration leads to the revitalization of the entire industry, which allows students who have a background in traditional hand-drawn methods of expression practice using advanced media and develop their skills. In this submission, we present a drawing expression challenge in 360 degrees of space to students with background in traditional painting. To ensure that this assignment is free of technical hurdles, no game engines or VR painting applications will be used. Only paper, art materials, and common painting and video editing software will be used by the students to complete the assignment. Figure 1 shows the examples of VR animation by students.
