Pool of curated studies for the Research-Based Project
Students will be exposed to scientific/technical literature and become familiar with contemporary research issues in Extended Reality while simultaneously developing their critical and independent thinking skills. Each group selects a theme inspired by a research paper (a) from the pool of research studies or (b) can suggest another theme if and only if it can be supported by a published research study (suggested themes are scrutinized by faculty members). Themes are allocated on a First Come, First Served basis. During the semester, each group will design and develop a functional prototype in VR/AR based on a research paper. For more information check the Evaluation Methods section.
