About the course
The course introduces the area of digital technologies that seeks to alter, create, or otherwise modify a person’s experience of reality through approaches commonly referred to as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). Often combined under the term eXtended Reality (XR), this course will provide a history of XR, an overview of the technologies involved, the issues encountered, the applications possible, as well as the foundational physiological and cognitive experience of sensing and perceiving reality. This course will examine some of the particular technical challenges in creating XR systems such as interaction and tracking. Practical sessions and assignments will cover practical elements of designing, building, and evaluating XR experiences.
