How It Aligns to Your Design Goals

Do you love designing immersive environments or reimagining how people experience space – both physically and virtually? 

 

If you naturally think in 3D, Interactive Spatial Design could be the perfect fit. This field explores how people interact with spaces through a blend of physical design, digital media, and emerging technologies like AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality). You’ll learn to map user journeys and create responsive environments that inform, inspire, and adapt to human needs— from exhibitions and retail pop-ups to hybrid experiences that bridge the physical and digital worlds.

 

You’ll enjoy this path if you:

  • Like blending architecture, art, and interaction
  • Want to explore spatial UX, AR/VR environments, and human-centered design

This is right for you if you:
