| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To provide the student with the fundamental theories and principles of Immersive Technology, while developing an understanding of appropriate methodologies to design and develop an implementation using these technologies. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Interpret a theoretical understanding of immersive technologies. |
| 2 | Assemble solutions using a number of different software packages and libraries for applications of immersive technology. |
| 3 | Demonstrate virtual environment design by using appropriate techniques. |
| 4 | Discriminate new and upcoming technologies related to immersive technology. |
| 5 | Make judgements on the design of user interactions for immersive technology. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Introduction to Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality technologies; Graphic Design for VR, AR and MR; Applications of VR, AR and MR, Unity programming; WebVR; Mobile AR design and development; VR gaming & user interactions. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| Key concepts are introduced and illustrated through lectures, workshops and directed reading. In the laboratories the students will progress through a sequence of exercises to develop sufficient knowledge of Unity programming and other applications such as ARCore, WebGL library, Autodesk products etc. to enable them to complete the practical design & implementation. |
