Abstract:

The Supercourse is a university-level class that brings together five different academic programs to build collaborative prototypes exploring mixed reality projects. The course also includes content around

entrepreneurship in the mixed-reality context, and works within a larger student-driven entrepreneurship program at the university. Survey results from three years of running the course are presented, with key lessons suggesting the most important focus should be on collaborative and communications skills development above and beyond the domain-specific mixed reality curriculum.
