Extended Reality (XR) encompasses a spectrum of
technologies that merge the physical world with digital elements, creating
immersive experiences that transcend the limitations of traditional screens.
It's an umbrella term encompassing three main categories: Augmented Reality
(AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). AR and VR are inherently
interdisciplinary fields, combining elements of computer science, design,
cognitive psychology, engineering and more.
Extended Reality Technologies is an
interdisciplinary course designed to provide the participants with a
comprehensive understanding of the rapidly evolving field of extended reality.
XR encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality
(MR) technologies, which are increasingly being used in various industries such
as gaming, education, healthcare, architecture, and entertainment. This course
will cover the fundamental principles, technologies, applications, and design
considerations of XR systems. The participants will learn about the underlying
hardware and software components of XR devices, including head-mounted
displays, motion tracking systems, and haptic interfaces. They will also
explore the principles of immersive user interface design, 3D modeling, and
software development tools. By the end of the course, the participants will
have the skills and knowledge to design, develop, and evaluate XR applications
and experiences for different domains.

Grading Policy:
- Internal Assignment Score: This
accounts for 30% of the final grade and is calculated based on the average of
the best three assignments out of all the assignments given in the course.
- Final Proctored Exam Score: This makes
up 70% of the final grade and is derived from the proctored exam score out of
100.
- Final Score: The final score is the
sum of the average assignment score and the exam score.
Eligibility for Certification:
- To qualify for a certificate, you must
achieve an average assignment score of at least 10 out of 30, and an exam score
