This course is designed to expand the student’s augmented reality knowledge and introduce relevant topics necessary for developing more meaningful applications and conducting research in this field. The course addresses the fundamental concepts of visual perception and introduces non-visual augmented reality modalities, including auditory, tactile, gustatory, and olfactory applications. The following sessions discuss the importance of integrating user-centered design concepts to design meaningful augmented reality applications. A later module introduces the basic requirements to design and conduct user studies and guidelines on interpreting and evaluating the results from the studies. During the course, students conceptualize, design, implement and evaluate the performance of augmented reality solutions for their use in industrial applications, teaching and training, or healthcare settings. Homework in this course will relate to applying the theoretical methods used for designing, implementing, and evaluating augmented reality applications. Required course background: intermediate programming (C/C++), data structures, linear algebra; EN.601.654 preferred.
