Abstract

On October 18th, 2022 Fabio Mosca, AnotheReality, will give a seminar on "Introduction to Virtual Reality: technology, design, opportunities" in B2.1 Room (Via Bonardi, Bld 14) at 2.30 pm.

Virtual Reality has been around for decades, but only in recent years has it seen the light as a mature technology used primarily in gaming and business applications. Virtual Reality can be approached both from a technological and a design perspective. In this talk, I will discuss what is feasible, why it is so, what the limitations are, how to make out the most from this medium and how to avoid pitfalls. The presentation will contain examples and references to video games and the Unity engine.

The event will be held online by Webex.
