IE IE6020: Immersive Modeling and Digital Twinning
This course presents an introduction to virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) technologies, with an
emphasis on designing and developing interactive virtual and augmented reality experiences.
The course will cover the history, fundamental theory, interaction techniques, and specific application areas.
Concepts from the contributing fields of computer graphics and human computer interaction will be introduced in the
context of virtual and augmented reality. There is a strong emphasis on the use of this technology as a platform for
real-world applications. The goal is to learn enough about the strengths and limitations of VR/AR technology to construct
simple immersive environments as well as to understand the human factors and cognitive issues that should be
considered when using this medium. Concepts such as visual displays for VR, AR and MR, motion tracking,
interactive 3D graphics, multimodal sensory integration, immersive audio, user interfaces, IoT, games and
experience design will be discussed. Beyond immersive technology, the course covers Digital Twins, as a response
to the increasing digitalization of product development, production, and products themselves. |
