Purpose and description of the content of education:
Opisy Opis: Moduł „Gesture capture” wprowadza studentów w tematykę przechwytywania i analizy ludzkich gestów w kontekście interakcji z komputerami oraz systemami wirtualnej i rozszerzonej rzeczywistości. Uczestnicy zapoznają się z różnymi metodami rejestrowania gestów, takimi jak technologia optyczna, czujniki ruchu oraz systemy śledzenia 3D. Podczas zajęć studenci będą mieli okazję nauczyć się, jak przetwarzać dane z tych technologii oraz wykorzystywać je w aplikacjach interaktywnych. Kurs obejmuje również zagadnienia związane z rozpoznawaniem gestów i ich zastosowaniem w projektowaniu gier komputerowych, filmów animowanych oraz systemów VR/AR. W ramach zajęć uczestnicy będą realizować ćwiczenia praktyczne, które pozwolą im zdobyć umiejętności w zakresie integracji technologii rejestracji gestów w różnych środowiskach interaktywnych. Moduł ma na celu rozwój kompetencji związanych z nowoczesnymi metodami tworzenia interfejsów użytkownika i wprowadzania innowacji w dziedzinie interakcji człowiek-komputer. Opis (angielski): The "Gesture Capture" module introduces students to capturing and analyzing human gestures in the context of human-computer interaction and virtual/augmented reality systems. Participants will learn about various gesture capture techniques, including optical technology, motion sensors, and 3D tracking systems. Throughout the course, students will explore processing and using data from these technologies in interactive applications. The course also covers gesture recognition and its applications in designing video games, animated films, and VR/AR systems. Practical exercises will provide students hands-on experience integrating gesture capture technology into various interactive environments. This module aims to develop skills related to modern methods of creating user interfaces and introducing innovations in human-computer interaction.
