ARTSLab in the News
ARTSLab was recently featured in two articles highlighting its work at the intersection of art, technology, and innovation, including student-led projects and a NASA-funded VR initiative.
Unity x ARTSLab Spring 2026 Offerings
ARTSLab is excited to continue its partnership with Unity in Spring 2026 with two free webinars and two free 10-hour courses, open to anyone in the state of New Mexico.
February 5, 2026
The webinars will explore AI-on-device integration with Unity and developing Unity applications for online deployment.
We’re also offering “Develop RT3D Applications with Unity” twice this semester. It was our most popular course last semester. This is a great opportunity for brand-new users to jump in and get comfortable with Unity’s interface and core beginner workflows. Seats are limited to 15 per session, so please register as soon as possible.
