Miami University has established itself as a leader in virtual production (VP) and extended reality (XR) education, with around 70 students enrolled on related courses. Demand for VP-trained professionals is only growing as the technology solidifies itself as an essential tool in today’s creative arsenal. The university’s newly opened McVey Data Science Building houses a state-of-the-art Immersive and Reactive Lab and XR Stage, which is equipped with a 44x16ft Roe Visual LED wall and 50x70ft stage. Stage Precision’s SP software unifies the studio’s VP workflow, allowing students to gain hands-on experience with Unreal Engine, Notch and Touch Designer, as well as lens calibration and camera tracking technology. Like a growing number of higher-education institutions, Miami University is preparing students for successful careers in the evolving production industry. By integrating SP into its curriculum, the university is setting a new standard for both VP and XR training, empowering students with the skills needed to excel in this highly technical field.
