Anotation:

Students get an overview of basic techniques for modeling spatial objects and scenes. They learn to create simple, but highly interactive and animated objects in a virtual space. Theoretical background is practiced using VRML/X3D specification. Besides fully 3D virtual environments, other approaches like augmented reality or panoramic images are introduced. The aim is also to make connections between virtual reality browsers and other software components widely used on the web.

Study targets:

To get familiar with methods and algorithms in the area of virtual reality. To obtain a practical experience with authoring and presentation of interactive virtual worlds in the immersive environment.

Content:

The lectures first include an introduction to VR and AR and important topics in computer graphics. This is followed by interaction concepts used in VR, an introduction to human vision and world recognition, and techniques for tracking user position and movement. Augmented reality (on mobile, in goggles, and other types) is given ample space. In hands-on exercises, students create their own virtual world in small teams (2-3 students) and try their hand at individual augmented reality and 3D photo reconstruction. A sufficient number of headset displays with controllers for the whole classroom (Meta Quest 2) are available for the exercises. The recommended framework for creation is the Unity3D or UE5 game engine, but interested participants are not limited to it.

6.		Augmented reality 1 - types and methods of image composition
7.		Augmented Reality 2 - Recognition of the world around the user
8.		Languages for describing virtual reality (X3D)
9.		VR on the web (WebVR and other frameworks)
10.		Audio in VR
