  知名的交互内容开发引擎Unity是全球使用人数最为众多、开发团队首屈一指的创作平台,被广泛地运用于用于各类2D、3D、VR及AR内容的开发,其影响力已经渗透到了游戏、动画、影视、设计、教育、科研等各行各业。

  Unity, the famous engine for authoring interactive media has become the most popular platform of creation all over the world.  It’s widely used to create 2D, 3D, VR and AR contents and influenced many fields including game, animation, film, design, education and scientific research.

  Unite大会是由Unity公司举办的全球开发者大会,每年一度的Unite大会都会吸引来自各行各业的上万名开发者齐聚一堂,交流信息、分享经验。2019年5月11日,在上海国际会议中心隆重举办的Unite大会上,由同济大学设计创意学院副院长孙效华教授代表学院与Unity大中华区总经理兼全球副总裁张俊波先生共同签署了双方的战略合作备忘录,标志着设计创意学院已正式加入了Unity公司发起的“灯塔计划”,成为了Unity的战略合作伙伴。
  The Unite Conference is a global event for developers organized by the Unity company. Each year, thousands of unity developers gather to share knowledge and exchange ideas. On 11 May, Unite 2019 was held in the Shanghai International Conference Center. Xiaohua Sun, the vice dean of the College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University (D&I in short) and Junbo Zhang, the general manage in China and the global vice president from Unity signed an MOU to establish a strategic collaborative relationship between Unity and D&I.
  在随后的发言环节,孙效华教授向与会嘉宾介绍了同济大学设计创意学院的基本情况,并强调了我院在人才培养的环节中一向重视培养学生对于技术前沿的敏感性,并积极引导学生将数字媒体技术的运用到设计创作实践之中。
  In the following speech session, professor Xiaohua Sun gave an overview of D&I. She emphasized that students in D&I were cultivated to be sensitive to the cutting-edge technologies and to put advanced digital media technologies into their practice of design.
  柳喆俊副教授接着分享了利用Unity引擎展开的教学探索与实践成果,并说明将基于“数字动画与数字娱乐实验室”的空间由双方共建“Unity XR创新设计实验室”,为学生提供一流的学习与创作环境,更好地激发他们基于Unity开展设计实践。
  Then, Associate Professor Zhejun Liu shared how Unity engine was used in the education and practice in Tongji University. He declared that the newly-built Unity XR Design Innovation Lab will provide first-tier learning and creation environment to motivate them to use Unity in their design practices.
  成为Unity“灯塔计划”的战略合作伙伴之后,设计创意学院除了将获得对方捐赠的50套教育版软件以外,还将定期与Unity共同开展专题讲座、创作工坊、设计大赛等形式多样的活动。并且,Unity公司将积极参与到学院各级各类的科研项目之中,为它们提供强而有力的技术支持。相信在双方的通力合作之下,必将能够打造起设计领域明亮的“灯塔”,引领数字媒体技术的未来发展。
  After signing the MOU, Unity would donate 50 educational licenses to D&I and organize various activities such as reports, workshops, competitions on a regular basis. Furthermore, Unity would actively participate in the scientific research projects carried out in D&I by providing reliable technology support. We believe that by cooperating closely, Unity and D&I will certainly lead the development of digital media in design.
