Issue 41 of The Nouspace Student Research Gallery celebrates the latest innovations from DTC students at WSUV, showcasing a diverse array of projects ranging from interactive narratives to cutting-edge AR and VR experiences. With this issue, we continue to highlight the remarkable creativity and technical skills of our students.
Key projects include a collaborative mobile app exploring phonetics, an emotional VR journey into artistic rediscovery, and an array of experimental videos and web-based narratives. Students have harnessed tools like Unreal Engine, Maya, and AI-driven platforms to push the boundaries of storytelling and design. Each project stands as a testament to the innovation and vision of our student community.
