Course description and aims
Virtual reality systems generate experiences of virtual worlds in computers by presenting multimodal sensory information to the users and inputting motions of the users to the virtual worlds. The concept of virtual reality, making experience by giving sensory information corresponding user's motion is an important concept for interaction design concerning users' experiences.
The principles and techniques to make virtual reality systems are also important to create interactive systems.
Thus, this course aims that students understand the idea of virtual reality and know the methods for implementations.
Student learning outcomes
Be able to explain principles and concepts of virtual reality, human sensory motor system, overview of sensors, actuators, simulation and rendering techniques.
Be able to propose abstract of new virtual reality system.
Course taught by instructors with work experience
| ✔ Applicable | How instructors' work experience benefits the course |
|---|---|
| Based on experiences on operation of IVRC (Interverse Virtual Reality Challenge) and making and teaching experiences on VR work, teaching designing of original VR system. |
Keywords
Virtual Reality, Interaction, Human Interfaces, Simulation
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
The course consists of 12 or 13 lectures.
In the final few class, students work on proposals and presentations of new virtual reality systems.
