Program Overview

The Open Games Workshop is a university program designed for Master's students in Media Informatics and Computer Science. The program focuses on game development, game design, and augmented reality, with a emphasis on hands-on experience and project-based learning.

Program Structure

The program consists of three modules:

• Module 1: Game Design and Game Development
• Module 2: Working with Unity3D and VR Devices
• Module 3: Project Workshop

These modules are designed to guide students through digital real-time technologies, 3D simulation, and game engines. The program culminates in a final presentation, where students demonstrate a functioning game application.

Admission Criteria

The program is suitable for:

• Students of Media Informatics (Master)
• Students of Computer Science (Master)

Bachelor students may also participate, but only if spaces are available. The program is limited to 24 students, and a waiting list is maintained for additional interested students.

Program Requirements

Students are required to bring their own notebook with the following software installed:

• Blender
