Course objectives
Students work in Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory and participate in a research of various fields of computer graphics, virtual reality, haptic based interaction etc. At the end of the course students
- will be familiar with modern VR equipment installed in HCI Laboratory
- will practise usage of graphics and haptics libraries and toolkits on UNIX, LINUX and MS Windows platforms;
- will learn to design and assemble virtual reality applications;
- will design and test new currently researched human-computer interaction methods;
- will improve their abilities to work in small teams on non-trivial theoretical and practical problems.
Syllabus
  • Laboratory of Human-Computer Interaction is a team project focused on new forms of multisensual interaction based on virtual reality techniques. The work concentrates on algorithmic and system problems of graphic interfaces, position detection, haptic feed-back, and their interconnection into a functional system. This course is based on a team work of the students on a research-driven problems.
Literature
  • SIGGRAPH Conf.Proc., ACM Digital Library etc.
Teaching methods
Work in laboratory, no timetable hour, several teams work on different research projects.
Assessment methods
Students gain credits and asessment when presenting documented results.
Language of instruction
English
