IGD301: Human-Computer Interaction for Mixed Reality

This UE presents an introduction to Augmented/Virtual and Mixed Reality challenges from an Human-Computer Interaction Perspective. The class covers an introduction to fundamental concepts of AR/VR/MR and presents methods and techniques allowing to design and implement interactive applications. The class is accompanied by a practical hands-on implementation and evaluation of a Virtual Reality application developed in Unity3D. The class covers the following topics: History of AR/VR, Current technology enabling AR/VR and Human Perception, Challenge of Input, Challenge of Haptics, Interaction Design for AR/VR, Application Scenarios for AR/VR, Current Research Problems and Challenges from CHI, UIST, IEEE VR, ISMAR, SIGGRAPH.

Lab 3: VR Unity Selection
New knowledge: Last post mistake: There are difference between tags and layers: Tags are used for finding objects with a specific tag ( e.g. FindWithTag(str) ). Layers can be used to identify objects at a high level. There are also other interesting tutorials to follow… https://www.youtube.com/c/DilmerValecillos/videos https://sidequestvr.com/app/578/handspace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0gpaQGu_H0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPFU30tbyKs Deploy my Roll-A-Ball on Oculus Errors record… try to use the build and run directly from Unity but fail. try to review all the undo step.

Lab 2: Roll-A-Ball
Get start with Unity… Some New knowledge in Unity for me: Customize Script Editor: Unity Lifecycle: Start ( ) / FixedUpdate( ) / Update( ) Start to implement a Simple Roll-A-Ball Game following Wenjie’s Slides! Skipped step: transform Empty GameObject In my scene, I don’t need to change the transform matrix of the Wall in general. Import TMP: Unshown steps in the tutorial It works with only importing the essential package.
