VR Quick Start Guide

By: 

Wobbe F. Koning, Monmouth University

As faculty member teaching computer graphics and interactive techniques you may desire, or it may be required of you, to incorporate Virtual Reality (VR) into your curriculum. This page is intended to provide some pointers to get started. It is not comprehensive, a more complete curated list of VR resources is currently in preparation

Creating a Modern Classic Visual Effect

By: 

Ken Cameron, University of Bath

To support filmmakers, effects teams must understand both how visual effects have been created in the past and how to develop software to deliver them in the modern context. This assignment asks students to work in small groups to replicate a classic visual effect that was originally created in camera.

the VR ride: a cross disciplinary assignment in computer graphics and interactivity

By: 

Nick Jushchyshyn, Robert Lloyd, and Erik Sundquist, Drexel University.

The “VR Ride” assignment challenges students to create an interactive VR computer graphics experience integrated with a themed ride. The ride apparatus must fully support the users weight, utilize the user’s body motions as a primary input for computer interactivity, and provide haptic feedback relevant to the VR experience.

Image ditching: manipulating images with audio effects

By: 

Erik Brunvand, School of Computing, University of Utah

Image glitching and data-bending are used to introduce image formats, data manipulation, and data visualization to beginning CS students and non-major students taking computing courses with no coding required.
