Foundations of Virtual Reality provides a broad overview of the foundational theories, concepts and technologies involved in virtual reality. Topics covered include:
- Definitions and history of immersive media
- Active and spatial perception - vision, hearing, touch, somatic senses
- Stereo, head-tracked images and head-mounted visual displays
- 3D tracking technologies - noise, filtering, drift
- Sonic and haptic displays
- Interaction, locomotion and navigation in virtual spaces
- Software and application design for real-time VR
- Embodiment, social presence, measuring immersion
Tutorials will provide hands-on introduction to these topics using WebGL, Threejs and Unity.

In this practical course, we will investigate methods for capturing, documenting and presenting. We will examine the state-of-the-art of emerging immersive and interactive technologies.
In this lab based class, students will work in small teams to design and develop prototypes demonstrating the use of interactive and immersive technologies.
