Human Experience in Immersive Media: XR, AI, and the Human Condition credit:

4 Hours

This graduate level course offers a comprehensive exploration of human experience in immersive media, encompassing not only direct users but also non-users and social others who interact with or are affected by XR and AI environments. Drawing on communication, psychology, design, and ethics, the course maps immersive experience across perceptual, psychological, contextual, social, and cultural dimensions of human experience. Students will engage with theory, empirical research, and practical case studies to understand how immersive systems shape perception, cognition, emotion, relationships, and meaning making in digital society.
