Final Project Presentation and Report
Content

In this project-oriented practical course, students learn how to design realistic,
interesting, behaving avatars in virtual realities. Typically the focus lies
in developing user interfaces, and new options for interacting with the VR
and acting upon objects or other entities within the VR. Alternatively, experimental
setups will be programmed and optimized in order to run real-world
psychological and evaluative experiments in which users control avatars in VR.
Objectives

Students know how to work with virtual realities (VRs) and how to develop
animated, autonomous avatars in these environments. They are able to create
and use suitable interfaces to enable users to effectively interact with VRs and
control avatars within.
