AR/VR Interaction Design

4.0 credits

Human activity is embodied through all our sensorimotor capacities, immersed in our immediate physical, social & cultural surroundings. Interaction technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR) have shown vast potential to enhance the way we think, feel & behave by superimposing/substituting digital contents onto/with our reality. This course is an introduction to AR,VR & related technologies, aiming to help students build a frame of reference of those technologies, apply them in design practices that address real-world problems, & actively reflect on social implications.
