The seminar deals with current research topics in the field of Virtual Reality. Topics are taken from conference contributions and the latest journal publications. The focus is on research and applications in medicine, mechanical engineering, machine and plant construction, flow visualization, and flow simulation.
Changes Due To CoronaDue to the Coronavirus, we will start with an online concept for our initally planed attendance-based introductory event on April, 7th. We will prepare a video with all required information and upload it to our youtube channel. An email with the link to this video, the list of available topics, as well as explanations for the further process will be sent around to all participants.If attendance-based classes and events are allowed from April, 20th, on, we stick to our initial plan for the semster. Otherwise, we will use videoconferences for bilateral feedback sessions as well as the final presentation. We will keep all participants up-to-date. |
