Content
This unit explores the design principles used in creating effective virtual and augmented reality applications. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems along with their areas of application (e.g., interactive educational experience, serious games, and immersive environments) are presented and analysed to form a foundation of basic design principles. The unit also provides a way to understand the interactive and cognitive functions of VR and AR systems and how these functions influence the design of assets for VR/AR systems.
