3. CONTENT DESCRIPTION

The course is based on the analysis of the main technologies that allow the development of virtual environments in the field of industry. Knowing the scope of their use, both in relation to the development of training simulators and emulators of industry procedures. Familiarization with the bi-directional multimodal flow typical of applications based on virtual and augmented reality. Creation of visual, auditory and/or haptic models to enrich the system's output flow. Analyze and know the possible inputs to an advanced virtual reality system through the study of different peripherals, which allow the location of a person, the detection of gestures made or force applied, etc. To analyse the different applications in which advanced virtual reality technologies can be integrated in the field of industry.

 

This content is developed through theoretical topics and practical activities described below:

 

THEORY

Introduction to Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technologies

Types and evolution of technologies.

Use in different fields.

Graphic environments and tools.

Basic concepts. Rendering, views, textures, materials, lighting.

Representation based on node hierarchies.

Construction of geometries. Basic operations.

Basic properties: color, material, textures and lighting.

Interaction mechanisms. Development of a GUI with basic interaction (keyboard, mouse). Collision detection.

Special aspects. Import of 3D models, animation, LOD.

 Virtualization and Augmented Reality.

 Development tools.

Output information modeling.

 Visual interaction. Stereoscopy and synchronization between real and virtual worlds in augmented reality.

  Audio programming for interactive applications.  Basic concepts of audio and physiology of the ear.  Spatial audio and sound in Unity. Effects tools and sound engines (FMOD).

  Haptic modeling. Basic concepts of proprioceptive and tactile stimulation. Haptic rendering, texture simulation, deformation simulation.

    Advanced input/output devices.

  Visualization devices.

   Position sensors. From magnetic to infrared trackers (Kinect, LeapMotion).

    Haptic devices. From mice with piezoelectric stimulators to Phantoms and/or robotic arms.

    Virtual reality applications in the industry.

        Training simulators.

        Other applications (emulators).

 

PRACTICES

 

P1 (Associated with Unit 2). Basic creation and rendering of a 3D object. Developing a basic 3D object or importing a model (blender or 3Dstudio) into Ogre or Unity.

P2 (Associated to Unit 3). Incorporating interaction to the model created in P2. Simulate the pulsation or displacement of an object and incorporate sound and/or visual feedback.

P3. (Associated to Unit 4). Incorporate realism to the model created in P2. Add haptic information regarding texture and/or deformations of an object and or piece. Incorporate visual information (shadows, light and stereoscopic parameters) to make a piece or object more realistic. Incorporate binaural auditory information to give auditory realism to the interaction with objects or sound environments.

4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Large Group Lectures: Introductory activities, master classes on theoretical contents and  practical aspects. Practical cases related to the theory agenda will be carried out, as well as seminars on relevant contents for the practical sessions. During these sessions, students will be able to analyze new technologies and their application to current professional contexts. In addition, debate and reflection on the implications of the use of virtual reality technologies in the industry will be encouraged, taking into account the needs of both the entrepreneur and the end user.


Classes in practice groups: A project will be developed in whose initial phases a supervised pattern will be followed, and then a project-based learning phase will be carried out in which students will have to select among different options for the development and simulation of a virtual environment. Students will be encouraged to acquire the ability to adapt to the technological changes that occur, and that in the field of Virtual Reality concerns both the existence of new devices and the evolution of development tools.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

The course will follow a format of continuous evaluation, although at the end of the course, on the date set by the centre, a written test will be taken on part of the theoretical and practical contents of the course. The tests associated with the evaluation system are

  • Attendance to face-to-face and/or virtual activities (S1-10 %):
    - Attendance sheets in theory and practice (5 %).
    - Participation (5 %). Teacher's notes on active participation.
  • Examination on the theoretical and practical concepts of the subject (S2-30 %):
    - Evaluation with multiple-choice tests at the end of each subject: 10 %.
    - Evaluation with final exam of theoretical and practical contents. 20%.
  • Performance of works, cases or practical exercises (S3-30 %)
    - Development and delivery of guided practices. 10%
    - Development and delivery of proposed projects. 20 %
  • Participation in face-to-face and/or virtual activities (S4- 30 %)
    - Delivery of documentation associated with the implementation of projects. 20 %
    - Presentation of proposals and results. 10%

 More than a 4.0 must be obtained in each of the sections in order to be able to average. The course will be considered passed when a 5.0 average mark is reached among all the activities.
