3D User Interfaces 2 ov

User Interfaces have been studied since the beginning of information age. They are present everywhere in our day life, from the remote control of our TV-set to the complicated UI of the Satellite Controller Desk. This course is looking at a more special User Interfaces, those used in 3D environments. How to make good interfaces, what are the key elements when designing them and how to improve the user interaction when using the 3D UI are the key aspects of the course. The techniques presented are: control, feed-back, visualisation, navigation, manipulation and access.

Activities: Lecture (30 h), exercise (10 h), project, own work, exam.
