With the rapid digital developments, the practice and study of VR/AR technologies reached almost all the design disciplines by considering different applications. Therefore, there is continuous pressure on design education, where course programs in graphic design, media design, fashion design, and product design must promptly incorporate these new technologies and create complete unity between the various design professions. This paper provides a careful examination of case studies in literature and consideration of utility for the profession through a curriculum of virtual and augmented reality technologies with specifications that suit multiple areas of design (product and graphic design). This approach demystifies these new technologies from the design process to product marketing. Interviews and discussions were conducted with a sample of approximately 100 participants (60% students, 30% design educators, 10% designers, and employers). The study included different universities from UAE, Egypt, and Italy. During the academic year 2020/2021. Furthermore, the results of this research were applied to design the Virtual Reality and its Derivatives course within the new study plan of the Graphic Design Department, College of Mass Communication at Ajman University in the United Arab Emirates.

This paper deals with the latest developments in the media labor market for visual communication design and its transformation into an interactive labor market. The shift cleared the urgent need for new generations of digital communication designers, who would have unique characteristics that enable them to meet the new challenges of the labor market. The creation of new methods for interactive advertisements and virtual and augmented reality technologies in conveying news and various topics represents a qualitative leap towards the near future in media design. Which requires developing the capabilities of designers in these areas to comply with future needs in the new interactive labor market. The research used interviews and discussions with groups interested in developing the profession of visual communication design. The study reached to identify the features of the interactive digital labor market, the characteristics that must be available in new visual communication designers, and the interactive relationship between them to draw a framework governing the educational process in visual communication and media design.
