Interested in advancing your career? Learn more about the EON Reality VR Innovation Academy (VRIA) housed on the UNMC campus in Omaha, Nebraska.

Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) are among the fastest growing sectors of our economy. These technologies are spreading far beyond the gaming and entertainment worlds into business, education and beyond, where they are being used to train employees, educate students and are being applied to health care.

Beginning June 4, 2018, the EON Reality VR Innovation Academy will provide 16 weeks of theoretical and practical training and 33 weeks of project-based training. The learners will develop skills to create Augmented & Virtual Reality applications for many diverse fields, such as health care, architecture, and product visualization.

The course requires a commitment to training through June 21, 2019 learning from experts in the field of AR/VR and developing and enhancing skills as the course teams (alongside the same AR/VR experts) work on real-world projects from varied market segments.

Selected candidates will be highly motivated, with an aptitude for developing creative digital content. A degree in computer science, gaming, visual arts, digital media (or similar) is ideal but not essential.

Upon successful completion of the course, an EON Reality AR/VR Developer Certification will be awarded.

*The EON Reality AR/VR Developer Certification is an industry certification not affiliated with UNMC.
