NASLOV: Development of Extended Reality (XR) Environments
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POVZETEK:

Extended reality (XR) encompasses various immersive technologies including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). These environments enhance or simulate the physical world through digital means, providing users with immersive experiences ranging from completely virtual spaces to enhanced views of the real world. Creating XR environments requires specific hardware and software. Hardware includes VR headsets, AR glasses, sensors, and controllers, which allow users to interact with virtual elements. On the software side, development platforms and engines, such as Unity 3D, play a crucial role in building and running XR applications.
Unity 3D is a powerful and widely-used game development platform that supports the creation of 2D, 3D, VR, and AR applications. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for designing, coding, and deploying interactive experiences. Vuforia, integrated with Unity 3D, is a popular framework for developing AR applications. It allows developers to create applications that recognise and track real-world images and objects, overlaying digital content onto the physical environment. The process involves importing the Vuforia SDK into Unity, setting up AR camera and image targets, and scripting interactions to provide rich, interactive AR experiences.

Naša gostja na Ponedeljkovem seminarju računalništva in informatike bo jutrišnje predavanje izvedla kot svoje Preizkusno predavanje pri izvolitvi v pedagoški naziv, zato prilagam tudi Dekanovo uradno vabilo na dogodek.

Vabljeni.
