ACADEMY

educational programme

CULTVR’s educational programme aims to unlock the potential for innovation and capability to advance specialist skill sets, bridging the gap between accessibility and implementation of key technologies to grow the immersive sector in a collaborative environment.

Workshops and courses teach live capture, CG, ambisonic sound, storytelling and 360° production techniques. CULTVR’s own educational tool ‘A to Z’ is an interactive lecture providing an insight into the complex medium of fulldome, its terminology and key concepts.

The Lab’s team regularly guest lecturers at various academic institutions and are invited to take part in talks and demonstrations at international conferences and events such as SXSW.

We started the project Unlocking XR offering a comprehensive programme of workshops, masterclasses, mentoring, shadowing opportunities and internships, all aimed at advancing participants’ understanding of immersive technologies and shared reality experiences.

Supported by Creative Wales through the Creative Skills Fund, Unlocking XR will be delivered from CULTVR Lab. For the next 10 months, we are collaborating with leading educational institutions, including the University of South Wales (USW), Cardiff University, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Cardiff and Vale College and the Prince’s Trust. Through these partnerships, the programme aims to empower cross-disciplinary creators, equipping them with essential skills to explore and apply XR technology across entertainment, live events, music, animation, film, VFX, and virtual production.
