CSC490H1 Capstone Project: Augmented and Virtual Reality (LEC0201)
This capstone will explore aspects of perception, graphics, interaction and creation in the immersive setting of augmented and virtual reality AR/VR.
This course is designed to serve three purposes:
- to teach students the fundamental principles behind technology, perception and navigation in AR and VR.
- to help students “learn by doing” tools to create AR/VR apps using a variety of APIs: webVR, janusVR, unity, unreal, ARkit, ARcore.
- to build an end-to-end AR/VR solution from a set of proposed problems as the course project.
A solid background in programming and “can-do” problem solving attitude is required. A background in computer graphics, HCI and an artistic sense are useful. The course format is 12 weeks of one meeting a week. Roughly 1/4 the meetings will be lectures and tutorials, and the remaining dedicated to research, development and presentation of the course projects. Students will work in teams of size 2-4.
The Balloting Procedure
You will need to submit the following:
- A copy of your CV
- A PDF with 3 sentences on what background you have in the areas described above and a single sentence on why you would like to take this course
