ACADEMIC YEAR (NEW) 2024-2025

Augmented Reality (AR) is gaining momentum as a key enabling technology, enabling us to experience an alternate 'overlay' reality. This course presents an introduction to AR, with emphasis on design and development of learning experiences. We will cover principles and concepts, technologies, learning experience design, perception, history, careers, and research directions. With practicals for making your own.

This course introduces the concepts and issues related to security and privacy as well as safety issues for immersive technologies, necessary for establishing a robust environment for running applications and securely managing their data. Students will learn to build their applications following the security and privacy by design principles and therefore be able to identify the threats and needs for their virtual and augmented reality applications, choose the appropriate set of security mechanisms and enforce them.
