This course provides an insight into development and research aspects of interactive VR applications in social virtual reality. One focus here is on the special features of interactions in virtual environments as well as various approaches to enabling pleasant experiences in virtual reality. In addition to the theoretical knowledge transfer, this course includes a practice-oriented part in which students can implement their own small social VR applications under the guidance of research assistants from the Virtual Reality & Visualization group. For this purpose, the course teaches how a lightweight implementation of multi-user VR applications is possible with the help of Unity3D and simple frameworks.
For this purpose, the course consists of lectures on various aspects of social VR as well as practical exercise sessions in which basic skills of VR developers are taught and own ideas can be realized.
In addition to basic programming experience, participants should have an interest in mixed reality technologies and enjoy exchanging ideas and working in groups.
Bachelor students from the 3rd semester, and Master students on a computer science-related course.
