After completing the course with a passing result, the student shall be able to:

Knowledge

• account for principles of interactive and adaptive sound design in professional contexts
  
  
• describe how audio is implemented in products requiring interactive sound using Wwise, and the technical and design considerations involved
  
  
• explain differences between real-time audio and linear audio post-production
  
  
• analyze the role of audio in interactivity, user experience and responsiveness
  
  
• identify and evaluate the importance of technical standards and optimization methods
  
  
• account for basic principles of Unreal Engine MetaSounds
  
  

Skills

• create and implement audio, music and sound effects in Wwise and Unreal Engine
  
  
• use Game Syncs such as States, Switches, RTPCs, Triggers and real-time mixing for dynamic audio control
  
  
• work with AI-based tools for audio generation and variation, with focus on workflows, quality assurance and ethical/legal considerations in professional production
  
  
• optimize audio workflows for multiple platforms such as PC, console, mobile devices and immersive environments
  
  
• collaborate in interdisciplinary teams with focus on functional interactive audio systems
  
  

Competence

• independently plan, execute and quality assure interactive audio projects
  
  
• assess audio function, quality and impact in interactive environments
  
  
• manage the entire workflow from audio production in a DAW to implementation in an interactive medium
  
  
• adapt and further develop workflows in line with new technologies and AI-based audio methods
  
  

contribute to development and innovation within adaptive and interactive audio production

The teaching is carried out through a combination of theoretical lectures, workshops, practical labs, project-based learning and supervision.

The course includes, among other things:

• theoretical lectures
  
  
• workshops
  
  
• practical labs
  
  
• project-based work
  
  
• supervision
  
  

work with industry-relevant tasks and materials

Assessment is conducted through a written digital exam in an LMS and a final project.

The assessment evaluates the student’s ability to:

• analyze and reason about interactive and adaptive sound design
  
  
• apply real-time workflows and technical methods in Wwise and Unreal Engine
  
  
• justify technical and design decisions in relation to function, quality and user experience
  
  
• configure and test interactive audio systems
  
  
• optimize and quality assure implemented audio solutions
  
  
• document and evaluate a complete workflow from audio production to final implementation
  
  

The examination requires independence, technically justified decision-making, system understanding, quality assurance and professional responsibility in real-time production environments.
