AR/VR Interaction Design

4.0 credits

Human activity is embodied through all our sensorimotor capacities, immersed in our immediate physical and social surroundings. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have shown vast potential to extend our sensorimotor and social experiences in 3D space. This undergraduate/graduate course aims to help students to develop understanding of key AR/VR concepts, principles, technologies, design practices and development tools. The students will obtain hands-on experiences of creating AR/VR applications that address real-world problems in domains such as education, collaboration, and quality of life, and understand technological and ethical implications of AR/VR such as human behavior sensing and ethical challenges.
