General Information

The course introduces the ways to interact with computers in a three dimensional (3D) environment, where the environment is either fully virtual or represents a mixture of real and virtual. It covers topics ranging from the hardware necessary to interface with virtual worlds, over techniques for interacting with 3D environments, to design and evaluation of 3D user interfaces.
Prerequisite: none

Topics covered

This course will use papers from the recent literature to aid students acquire an in-depth understanding of specific topics. The course project will require designing and implementing novel 3D user interfaces, testing those techniques with real users, and then presenting the results in a report.
