NUS SOC Summer Workshop 2019
About Topic
Immersive VR Experience Development
Cluster: Multimedia & VR/AR
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are nascent fields that can benefit many different areas such as medicine, education, engineering, etc. In this workshop, you will learn fundamentals of immersive VR application design, human perceptions of reality, interaction design for VR, VR sickness and techniques to mitigate VR sickness.
You will learn to program using popular game engines such as Unity3D and Unreal to develop VR experiences for higher-end VR platforms such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. You will also learn how to program various sensors attached to human body or common hardware such as exercise bike machine and integrate them with the VR system. The workshop includes a project component that allows you to use the theories and skills acquired in the class to build brilliant VR experiences.
