Adequate experience in computer programming is necessary in order to be able to deal with the practical part of the course.
This course is included in the 'Computing' module, together with 'High-Performance Computing' and 'Intelligent Systems Development'. The main objective of this course is to train the student in the fundamentals of visualization in information interaction, with special emphasis on new techniques such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
In recent years there has been a rapid evolution in the techniques of interaction and visualization of information, allowing the user to immerse in a virtual environment (VR) or even integrate virtual information in real scenarios (AR). The needs of qualified personnel in the sector are remarkable, specifically in the direction and management of multidisciplinary work teams, in the field of video games, cinema, television, industrial design, scientific visualizations, simulations, etc.
In this context, this course deals with the main areas of knowledge in the field of modern computer interaction techniques and information synthesis methods.

Throughout the course, a prototype information visualization system will be built using new interaction paradigms. The development of the system will be done in an incremental way following the scheme of the following sessions:
Practice 1. Introduction to the work environment.
Practice 2. Interactive representation systems.
Practice 3. Augmented reality systems.
Practice 4. Virtual Reality, Realistic Rendering and Multimedia Contents
Additional sessions: Presentation of projects.
