AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course  introduces the concepts of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to design effective systems for user needs both from the point of view of simplicity of interaction and the naturalness of the system's use as a whole. Programming techniques, computer graphics and computer vision for the creation of advanced interaction systems in virtual reality (VR) and increased (AR) environments are considered. Current VR and AR devices, e.g. Kinect, Leap Motion, Stereoscopic Monitors, Cardboard, Samsung Gear, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, are described. Moreover, interaction and perception evaluation is introduced: experimental session design and data analysis.

TEACHING METHODS

Combination of traditional lectures and practice.
