Module Overview:
This module will focus on the novel input and output technologies that enables blended experience between the physical reality and virtual reality. It will also cover design of virtual worlds and the development of mixed reality applications, as well as the proposal of mixed reality solutions for a specific application. You will be working collaboratively during lab sessions to develop MR solutions.
