ABOUT

The Expo is an annual juried event, sponsored by the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater’s Media Arts and Game Development (MAGD) program, which features interactive entertainment, 3D, 2D, aural, virtual, and animated creative work.

Our annual event is being held in the Hamilton Room at the University Center. Projects will also be hosted online after the event, starting May 15.

Students earn credit with our Game Jams course held multiple times a semester.

Students design their own senior projects. Kalei shows her UI/UX design to Dean Hayes.

Our students can gain experience making games in virtual reality.

Our students also gain experience creating games for alternative controls. Luke and Nicole are showing off their mid-air haptic feedback rhythm game.

Motion capture can bring your VR, AR, Motion Graphic to life. We have a new suit- and marker-based system.

Our annual summer camp brings in future students from 8th grade to seniors in high school to campus for a week of game development.
