Type of course

Admission requirements

Bachelor degree in Engineering program in mechanical, electrical power, electronics, mechatronics, material science, industrial engineering, process engineering or other equivalent majors.

In addition, the following requirements must be met:

-minimum 25 ECTS in mathematics (equivalent to Mathematical Methods 1, 2 og 3), 5 ECTS in statistics and 7,5 ECTS in physics on a higher level is required.

Application code: 9371

Course content

The course will provide students with knowledge in extended reality (XR) and the technology. In the course some simulation/software examples will be provided for XR applications towards industry; General principles; Programming languages ​​​​and methods.

Week 1:

• Introduction of XR (VR/MR/AR)
• Introduction of game engines (Unity/Unreal Engine)
• Introduction of assets and scripts through marketplace (pre-made content
• Set-up of software, accounts and hardware
• Introduction of project I

Week 2:

• Project II

The subject is built on two projects, a smaller project and a larger project.

The projects involve going through the phases from idea to finished product. The task can be solved in groups, and the project must be managed and documented according to the philosophy TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT.

In total, this part will amount to 80 hours per student. Teaching/supervision is then included.

The own effort in the final project will be approx. 50 hours per student, including status report and status presentation + final report and presentation of the finished product.

Objectives of the course

Knowledge and understanding:

The candidate will gain knowledge of

• project management on a digital platform, with innovation and development where the environment and sustainability are also taken into account.
• extended reality (XR) technology; hardware (headset, devices, connection etc) and software (game engines, XR client, networking etc)

Skills:

The candidate should be able to

• carry out a project from idea to finished product
• generate an idea through a creative process, product development methods, describe the idea with necessary media such as game engine, immersive and interactive 3D environment, simulations and scripts (programing).
• assess and indicate the necessary tolerances and sources of error.
• manage the project using project management tools and successfully deploy their own project into the headset (Developed application for XR).

Competence:

The candidate should be able to use his/her knowledge and skills to be able to communicate with all involved parties in a project.

The candidate will gain the competence to work in a creative and independent way to realize an idea through a project.

The candidate will gain competence for the existing XR technologies; Development of applications and create builds (Alpha/Beta versions)

Language of instruction and examination

Teaching methods

Lectures, and laboratory work / exercises, mainly with computers.
