IMD has no strict requirements for which computer you use, but we recommend the following:
A Windows (10 or later) laptop with 16Gb (or more) of memory.
Departmental Exceptions to Policy
The Immersive Media Design program will consider a departmental exception to policy only in rare and extraordinary circumstances outside of a student's control. A request for a departmental exception to policy is not guaranteed.
New Works Incubator
The Immersive Media Design New Works Incubator launched in the summer of 2021 to give students across the University of Maryland campus the opportunity to create and present original works of immersive media. Each year, the incubator culminates in a public showcase of student work as part of NextNow Fest.
The incubator enables student creators to explore new areas of immersive media and create works based on their own interests and initiatives.
