ABOUT THE COURSE:Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful technology that promises to transform our lives. The purpose of this course is to provide you with a deep understanding of the fundamentals of VR. Because VR tricks our brains by presenting synthetic stimuli to our senses, it is extremely challenging to develop and analyze VR systems that are both effective and comfortable. To get a handle on these issues, this course will fuse together knowledge from a variety of relevant topics, including basics in human physiology, neuroscience, and perceptual psychology, and illustrate how they impact the development of VR hardware, software, and content.INTENDED AUDIENCE: UG students of any Engineering Discipline, preferably third and final year studentsPREREQUISITES: Engineering MathematicsINDUSTRY SUPPORT: Accenture, Sony, Samsung, Qualcomm, TCS, Tata XLSI, and many more
