<p>Virtual Reality (VR) is one of the underpinning mechanisms for delivering immersive applications and technology. Its advancement has motivated new approaches to the way we interact with both the digital and physical world. This module aims to develop your abilities in specialist skills in VR systems development and their applications in domains such as design and manufacturing, healthcare and medicines, and entertainment. You are introduced to a holistic approach to virtual reality systems. Topics such as advanced Human Computer Interface (HCI) concepts, theories, and technologies will be covered. In particular these will be related to the design of virtual medical environment and industrial manufacturing interfaces through exploring relevant system components and development toolkits. The latest technological components such as portable VR headsets and body tracking devices will be used to offer hands-on VR development experiences.</p>
