Department of Computer Graphics and Interaction

Synopsis:

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.

Requirements:

Recommended prerequisite is MGA (Multimedia and graphics applications)

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction to Virtual and Augmented Reality, basic overview of topics

2. Computer Graphics for Virtual Reality

3. VR design 1 - User interaction with the virtual environment

4. VR Design 2 - User Interface and Prototyping

5. 3D reconstruction (from photos, stereo image, depth camera)

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

11. Light and optics

12. User tracking ( Tracking )

13. Human perception and VR system delay

14. Extension topics in VR and AR (spare lecture)

Syllabus of tutorials:

1) Familiarization with the classroom, forming two-person teams, setting up the first project

2) Presentation of proposed scenarios (projects)

3) Creating the VR world

4) Creating the VR world

5) AI

6) Submission of the 1st part of the sem thesis
