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 the 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 latest human-computer interaction methods;
- will improve their abilities to work in small teams on non-trivial theoretical and practical problems.
Syllabus
  • In the Laboratory of Human-Computer Interaction, students solve individualy or in teams, various projects focused on new forms of multisensual interaction based on virtual reality techniques. The work concentrates on algorithmic and system problems of computer graphics in general, graphic interfaces, position detection, haptic feed-back, and interconnection of solutions into functional systems.
Literature
  • SIGGRAPH Conf.Proc., ACM Digital Library etc.
Teaching methods
Work in laboratory, no timetable, students work in teams on different research projects. Every 14 days students briefly prezent their solutions and results to other students and teachers.
Assessment methods
Students are evaluated according to the results of their projects and the final presentation of the achievements. Every 14 days students briefly prezent their solutions and results to other students and teachers.
