Course objectives
The goal of the course is to introduce the principles of XR design with a focus on virtual and mixed reality. During the semester, we will discuss differences between the design for traditional 2D systems and 3D immersive applications. We will explore existing VR applications for Meta Quest and compare their user interfaces and interactions. At the end of the course, students will design their own user interface prototype in the ShapesXR application. All students will be loaned a VR headset.
Learning outcomes
In this course, students will learn to:
- identify and describe the principles of XR design
- design a simple user interface in virtual reality
