Corso di laurea magistrale in Informatica, Universita' di Milano. A.A. 2022-2023. Secondo Semestre.

Avvisi: La lezione di laboratorio del 9 Marzo 2023 è rinviata alla settimana successiva..

Course Aims:
The aim of the course is to teach students to design and develop for virtual reality (VR). Participants will learn to develop for VR in a standard tool such as Unity, create interactions between avatar bodies and virtual objects, and design selection and manipulation techniques for VR. The course focuses both on the technical aspects of VR as well on the human-centred aspects. These skills are needed to develop for headset-based VR, but also in developing for other headset-based technologies, such as augmented reality. Learning will take place through lectures and hands-on VR development exercises. Students will learn also the mathematical foundations of both Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality as well as avatar animation. Extensive practice in the laboratory with devices of current use (Oculus-rift, Google card, 3D cameras, Leap Motion) will be provided.

At course completion, the successful student will have

Knowledge of

• Basic kinematics of bodies
• Sensing technologies
• Interaction techniques for VR
• The user’s perception of virtual surroundings and bodies
• Uses of VR

Skills in

• Developing in a standard VR tool such as Unity
• Developing interactions between bodies, objects, and surroundings
• Tracking the user’s actions (e.g., of hands, bodies, eyes)
• Designing interaction techniques

Competences to

• Reason about and justifying design decisions of VR/AR interaction techniques
• Apply a selection of current sensing technologies for VR and thinking forward to future ones
• Analyze principally the pros and cons of display technologies, sensing technologies, and interaction techniques from both the technological and the user’s perspectives
• technological and the user’s perspectives

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures, hands-on programming exercises, assignments in groups, and a project singles or in groups.

Course organization (6 CFU)

Theoretical part: 16 hours

Laboratory part: 32 hours

Exam and evaluation

Laboratory assignements: graded in 10th.
Theory evaluation: pass / fail.
Final evaluation on the laboratory graded in 30th (1/3rd on micro-projects assigned through the course and 2/3rd on final project).

Notice:

For assignements and final evaluation carried out in more than one student, each student must clearly highlight his/her own contribution.

Exam requirement
To qualify for the exam, the students must have handed in and got accepted laboratory assignements..
