Call for applications for admission to the Immersive Technologies for Narrative Design and Virtual Production course Immersive art & school 2026

With this call for applications, the CSC, in collaboration with the Veneto Region, aims to identify, select, and train students and professionals who can contribute to supporting the evolution of operators in the cultural and creative industries, strengthening professional skills and competencies in the audiovisual sector, especially related to promoting technological transition. XR (VR/AR/MR), Virtual Production, and real-time engines are transforming audiovisual, cultural heritage, technical training, and experiential marketing. LED walls with in-camera VFX reduce set times and costs; immersive prototypes speed up R&D in automotive, architecture, heritage, and HSE. At the same time, AI-assisted tools accelerate concept art and lookdev, but require traceability (C2PA), clear policies, and compliance on copyright and related rights.
