TNM093 Practical Data Visualization and Virtual Reality, 6 ECTS credits.
/Tillämpad visualisering och virtuell verklighet/

For:   MT  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 34
Rec. self-study hours: 126

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Media Technology

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
The student shall, after finishing this course, be able to:
  • use common techniques for data exploration and analysis, and virtual reality to implement visualization and computer graphics applications.
  • use tracking and correct view projection to implement one-to-one mapping between real and virtual coordinates
  • use common software systems to implement basic multi-sensory interaction and visualizations


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Algebra and calculus, programming in C++, object orientation and algorithms, 3D Computer graphics

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course introduces theories and practical examples within the lectures. In laboratory exercises the students will try out the practical use of various tools and thus acquire skills necessary for using software packages for visualization. Furthermore, VR principles will be applied to correct the graphical view.

Course contents:
  • Visualization pipeline
  • Visualization techniques
  • Tracking and VR views
  • Interaction techniques
  • Perception
  • Applications


Course literature:
Suggested, optional books on the course subjects:
  • The Visualization Handbook, Charles Hansen and Chris Johnson
  • Information Visualization: Design for Interaction (2nd Edition), Robert Spence
  • Essential Virtual Reality Fast, John Vince


Examination:
Laboratory work
6 ECTS
 
Grades are given as â?TFailâ?T or â?TPassâ?T.
