Research perspectives on AR and VR (augmented and virtual reality)

The course primarily centres on definitions, evaluations and discussions in science literature on:

• user experience in virtual reality
• user experience in augmented reality
• client experience in physical and virtual service landscapes
• augmented reality as a user interface to Internet of Things
• multimodal input
• learning perspective on different types of sensory representation and interactivity.

Instruction is in the form of seminars where published research articles are studied prior to each seminar. The students write short reports for each of the designated articles for each seminar, identifying the strengths and weaknesses in the research design, as well as the conceptual frameworks and empirical basis that the article relies on, and how the analysis of data was conducted.
