| Course Title: |
Immersive Human-Computer Interaction |
| Course Number: |
IMGD 5100 |
| Semester |
Fall 2012 |
|
| Description: |
Immersive environments are those which give the user the feeling of
occupying a space different from their current physical space. They
are created in the mind of the user by careful selection of sensory
stimuli and support for natural interaction. This course focuses on
the design and evaluation of user interfaces that support user
immersion in several contexts, including desktop, head-mounted
display, large-screen, and mobile situations. Through a combination of
traditional lecture, literature review, and hands-on work, students
will learn to critically evaluate different alternatives, build
prototype systems, and design comparative evaluations to test the
effectiveness of various techniques. Students will be expected to
implement several techniques as part of this course.
Prerequisites: A demonstrated proficiency to program. A course on
traditional human-computer interaction is recommended.
