DESCRIPTION

This unit will give a hands-on introduction to Augmented Reality technology. Augmented Reality (AR) is an exciting new research field that involves creating experiences where three dimensional computer graphics are seamlessly merged with the real world. The course will give an introduction to AR technology and then give students the skills they need to develop their own simple AR interfaces. This includes learning about how to create simple 3D content, how to overlay that content on the real world, and how to interact with that content in interesting ways. Students will learn about AR applications in a range of different areas such as education, entertainment, and engineering and they will also have the opportunity to work in a project team to build their own prototype application.
