Kickoff Tue, 2024-04-09; 10:00am - 11:00am Seminar Room 003, Kopernikusstraße 6, Extension Building IT Center

The seminar deals with current research topics in the field of Virtual Reality. Topics are taken from conference contributions and the latest journal publications. The focus is on research and applications in medicine, mechanical engineering, machine and plant construction, as well as social VR.

Course

Topics will be presented in the kick-off meeting and are assigned afterward based on students' preferences. In addition to the final seminar paper, participants must also submit an extended abstract (max. 3 pages) and meet with their supervisor once, to get feedback during the writing process. Presentations will be given in an intensive block course format towards the end of the lecture period. More information will be given in the kickoff meeting.

Attention: The seminar is supported by the scientific workflow guide SWOFI. Once the course starts, all further information about tasks and the required deliverables for each deadline is found under https://swofi.net:30001. It is crucial to follow the instructions listed there to successfully finish the course.

Requirements

Previous knowledge of the subject is not required; but attendance in the Virtual Reality and Computer Graphics lectures by Professors Kuhlen and Kobbelt, respectively, is recommended.
