Abstract :
The Carnegie Mellon Building Virtual Worlds course fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and invention. It helps provide students with a solid foundation by challenging them to create innovative, future-oriented experiences through a series of critiqued rapid prototypes. This process, combined with carefully designed peer evaluation, has led to a system that hundreds of alumni credit with setting them on the road to inventing the future of entertainment technology.
