Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module "Extended Reality Technologies (Foundations and Future Trends)" aims to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of extended reality (XR) and its future development trends. During the lectures, key technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) will be discussed, along with their applications in various fields of art and science. Students will become familiar with current trends, tools, and methods used in XR production and the potential future directions of these technologies. The course provides an understanding of the impact of XR on contemporary digital and artistic creativity. The classes will also address technological and societal challenges related to the implementation of XR across different industries. By the end of the course, students will have a foundational knowledge of the potential of extended reality technologies in the context of future innovations. The module will help the students gain a theoretical and practical understanding of these technologies.
