Virtual Reality - Student Resources

Virtual Reality (VR) has gone from a niche market to one of the fastest-growing areas of creative expression and technical innovation. Unlike any other audio-visual storytelling platform, VR immerses users inside an experience. With more and more storytellers looking to break into this new medium, the New York Film Academy’s hands-on VR programs offer students support and training as they develop the technical skills to explore new applications of VR technology in cross-disciplinary fields. NYFA’s VR student resources are here to supplement coursework and help students connect to industry trends, helpful how-to’s, and insightful Q&A’s.
