Inhalt[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

This lecture offers an overview and introduction into the area of virtual and augmented reality and informs about the current state of research. Participants will aquire basic knowledge on VR hardware, software and user-specific aspects.

  • Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality
  • Fields of application and areas of research (incl. medicinical use)
  • 3D-graphic-hardware
  • VR hardware: input- and output-devices, e.g. tracking and display technologies and other interaction devices
  • VR software: 3D-graphic tookits and -standards
  • User interfaces and 3D interaction
  • psychological aspects (e.g. presence and immersion)


A more detailed breakdown from the WS17-slides:

  • Introduction, Applications

Vortrag[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Quite interesting, especially for the occasional demos (e.g. hololens-gaming in the last session).

Presence isn't necessary (the slides are relatively detailed and exhaustive).

The lecture is blocked into a bit more than a week, so the knowledge gained from it can be applied to the work on the accompanying excercise course (TU Wien:Virtual and Augmented Reality UE (Vasylevska)).

Prüfung, Benotung[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Written exam at the end of semester.

The questions get reused a lot -- self-examing with old test questions helps a lot. The exam asks for examples very often, creative thinking helps there ;)

The questions cover the whole material, thus it's not enough to only look at a few (sub)topics, but rather one should look at everything, including topics that only get a single slide.

Oct 16, 2019: As the lecturer has hinted at during the lecture, the exam consisted mostly of questions that have already appeared in older exams.

Zeitaufwand[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

  • Average / appropriate for the ECTS
  • The material isn't difficult but extensive (some 675 slides) and does require a certain amount of learning by rote (e.g. lists of available techniques). A previous editor found the slides lacking in organization -- including organizing these it took them four days to learn for the exam.
