Advanced Topics in Virtual Reality

Use a range of technologies, algorithms and associated data structures and choose an appropriate architecture for a Virtual Reality Application.

Critically evaluate the effectiveness of a chosen VR Data Visualisation Technique.

Demonstrate a deep and systemic understanding of interrelationships between VR Research Topics and associated development techniques.

Make informed and critical decisions in the architecture of the VR Application for a particular domain context.

Employ advanced skills in Virtual Reality development to effectively visualise data in a Virtual Reality setting.
