Supervisor:

Department of Software Engineering

Synopsis:

The course leads students to create a complex virtual world.

The course is a continuation of basic graphical courses (MGA, PGR, BLE,…).

This current students knowledge is furthermore complemented by the theory of game design, principles of writing dialogues and characters in order to create a functional and complex virtual world.

The course can be followed by the course MI-PVR with the task of converting scenes and their dynamics into a fully virtual environment suitable for VR devices.

Requirements:

BI-MGA, BI-PGR, or BI-BLE (recommended, not mandatory)

Syllabus of lectures:

1. scene representation

2. interaction and modality in a virtual world

3. world with avatar and without

4. natural world dynamics

5. natural activity cycles

6. dialogues and scenarios

7. the inner logic and rules of a virtual world

8. non-user persons

9. complex structures

10. whole virtual world storyline

11. virtual reality

12. project presentation
