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.
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.

This beginner-friendly course introduces participants to real-time 3D development using Unity. Over 10 hours of live instruction, a 15-person cohort will explore how to create real-time 3D (RT3D) applications for simulation, training, and spatial visualization across multiple sectors. Sessions are held live on Zoom and designed to equip newcomers with practical, industry-relevant Unity skills.

Join organizers Madrone Matishak and Sarah Bennett Davidson for an overview of the New Mexico Dance Hackathon, an initiative bringing together dance and new media artists to experiment and create innovative work across performance, installation, and film. This info session offers a look at past projects, insights into the creative process, and details on how to apply for this year’s program, culminating in final presentations at UNM ARTSLab this July.
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.
Students will learn how to work with PBR materials in Blender and then how to export a 3D asset from Blender for use in Unity. Using this asset, they will then create a small AR application for Android in Unity 6 that will allow them to place the moon in their...
