Course Details
• Advanced 3D Modeling for Geospatial VR: In this unit, students will explore advanced 3D modeling techniques and tools to create accurate and detailed geospatial virtual reality environments. They will learn how to optimize models for real-time rendering and explore the use of textures, lighting, and other visual effects to enhance the immersive experience.
• Geospatial Data Acquisition and Processing: Students will learn how to collect and process geospatial data from various sources, including satellite imagery, drones, and ground-based sensors. They will explore techniques for data cleaning, normalization, and transformation to prepare it for use in a geospatial VR environment.
• Real-Time Rendering and Optimization: This unit will cover the principles of real-time rendering and optimization techniques to ensure smooth and seamless VR experiences. Students will learn how to optimize their 3D models, textures, and other assets for real-time rendering and explore the use of level of detail (LOD) techniques to ensure performance on a range of hardware platforms.
• Geospatial Analysis and Visualization: Students will learn how to use geospatial data to analyze and visualize complex spatial relationships and patterns. They will explore the use of heatmaps, contour maps, 3D scatter plots, and other visualization techniques to help users better understand the data and make informed decisions.
• User Interface and Interaction Design: In this unit, students will learn how to design intuitive and user-friendly interfaces for geospatial VR environments. They will explore techniques for gesture-based interaction, voice recognition, and other natural user interfaces to ensure a seamless and immersive user experience.
• Virtual Reality Sensors and Tracking: Students will learn how to use VR sensors and tracking systems to create accurate and immersive geospatial environments. They will explore the use of motion tracking, haptic feedback, and other technologies to enhance the user experience and ensure realistic interactions with the virtual environment.
• Ethics and Privacy in Geospatial VR: This unit will cover the ethical and privacy considerations associated with geospatial VR environments
