XR Design

By means of this minor, students are given an oppertunity to get hands-on experience with the broad area of Virtual Reality.

The minor covers technology aspects (3D graphics, visualisation, IO-devices/systems), human aspects (behavior, presence, illusion) and design aspects (content, interaction, animation).

"There is a great scope of developments in the human applications field. More than just visualisation techniques, we aim to organise sessions on how one can train professionals, how ergonomics can be tested, how applications can influence the human brain." Martijn Lamers – lecturer
