Video Games and Multimedia
Sub-disciplines
A video game is an electronic gaming interaction between a user interface and a gaming system, such as mobiles, computers, and laptops that use input devices such as a joystick, controller, keyboard, and motion sensors, to provide feedback to the system so that it can respond accordingly.
Multimedia is another form of communication that uses different materials of audio, moving- images, video, and animation together to digitally process integrated text and graphics. It can also be used in a more physiological simulation with special effects to bring out a better realistic experience for users.
Together, video games and multimedia have delivered a form of entertainment and socialization through online gaming platforms. It has been able to promote cooperation with other players as well as familiarise and prepare children for the constant growth and advancement of technology.
Video games and Multimedia courses focus on the theories and concepts of game design and multimedia content creation for a variety of platforms. These courses provide students with in-depth knowledge and information on topics such as three-dimensional graphics, game analysis design, entertainment technology, game animation, and virtual reality applications, to name a few. Through these courses, students will develop exceptional research and programming capabilities to develop the software and hardware infrastructure needed to create future interactive games.
