What Is the XR MOOC Specialization?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Extended Reality for Everybody<\/a> is a three-course MOOC specialization designed for online learners by Professor Michael Nebeling<\/a> and a team from the University of Michigan<\/a> to learn about augmented, virtual, and mixed reality technologies, applications, and issues. Since its launch on Coursera in December 2020<\/a>, more than 16,000 learners have enrolled and several thousand learners have completed at least one of the courses if not the entire specialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coursera specializations require learners to subscribe for a monthly fee to be able to earn a certificate of completion, but there are options for financial support and also auditing is possible to get access to the content for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is one of the introductory lectures to XR terminology which was created in two versions, one using a more traditional approach with slides (not shown here) and the one below, using mixed reality capture of Dr. Nebeling giving the lecture in VR with Google Tilt Brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
