Preparing For What's Next
We provide the latest technology in cinematic storytelling, giving our students the opportunity to experience it firsthand as they develop their skills and approach to their craft. The fact that we are the first university in the nation to purchase the Positron Voyager, the first chair designed specifically for fully immersive cinematic virtual reality, is an example of this. VR has been in existence for a while, but the development of the Positron Voyager is taking this technology to the next level.
