BLENDED FORMULA - ONLINE AND CLASSROOM

Training course

Experiencing spaces even before they are built has become an increasingly creative requirement thanks to the extraordinary potential of immersive reality that allows a spectacular and exciting view of spaces

In response to this growing need/requirement, a multi-stage training course was formulated to provide skills in the use of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality as innovative tools for presenting one's projects by exploiting technologies from the world of gaming, in particular Unity 3D.

The specialisation course in Virtual and augmented reality for business will provide the skills to be able to transform 3D models created using Blender or other modelling software into augmented reality and/or virtual reality. Each participant will be able to generate AR and VR presentations on multiple platforms (Windows, Android, iOS)

Do you want to become an expert in Virtual and Augmented Reality? IDI's Specialisation Course in Virtual and Augmented Reality for Business is a professional training course that will enable you to learn the skills necessary to transform 3D models created using Blender or other modelling software into virtual or augmented reality.

TEACHERS

Ennio Pirolo

A graduate in Computer Engineering from the University of L'Aquila, he started his professional career first as a web programmer and later as a developer in the video game industry.
In 2016, together with Veronica Vecci, he founded AmbiensVR, a platform that brings Virtual Reality into the world of Architecture and Design, connecting gaming experience with the world of design.
Four years after the company's foundation, customers include Mediaset, Lube Cucine, eFM, LUISS.
Ennio currently holds the role of administrator and CTO at AmbiensVR, while at the same time dealing with VR training and programming.

Veronica Vecci

A graduate in Building Engineering-Architecture at the University of Bologna, she collaborated with several design studios before becoming co-founder of AmbiensVR, a platform that brings Virtual Reality to the world of Architecture and Design. The idea of exploiting VR and immersive technologies to help designers make their work easier to read came from a chat with a developer friend, Ennio Pirolo: together they realised that bringing gaming know-how into design could be the answer to a communication problem. Three years after the company was founded, they have clients such as Mediaset, Lube Cucine, eFM, LUISS.
Named one of the 10 Female Founders to Watch in Italy in 2018, Veronica Vecci currently holds the role of COO at AmbiensVR, working in parallel on VR training and 3D modelling.
