Content
This unit provides a comprehensive introduction to the development processes specific to the creation of effective virtual reality applications. Programming concepts and techniques appropriate to the creation of elements of virtual environments are taught using industry standard development facilities. Data types and manipulation patterns appropriate to the representation of virtual spaces allow students to solve typical problems including those related to responding to user actions, incorporating physical interactions between virtual objects and presenting the virtual world using computer graphics and other forms of output.
