Anwendungen der Augmented Reality

by David A. Plecher and Prof. Gudrun Klinker, Ph.D

2 SWS, 4 ECTS

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a new technology which superimposes virtual information onto the real environment. The information is displayed in 3D and seamlessly integrated in the user's view of the scene.

This proseminar shall provide students with an overview on "classical" approaches and applications of Augmented Reality. In each session papers which are representative for different aspects of AR are discussed. Each participant has to prepare such a talk (~45 min), present it and discuss it with the group.

Erweiterte Realität (Augmented Reality, AR) ist eine neue Technologie, die die reale Umgebung mit virtuellen Informationen anreichert. Die Informationen werden hierbei 3-dimensional und lagegerecht in das Sichtfeld des Benutzers eingeblendet.

In diesem Proseminar sollen Studierende einen Überblick über "klassische" Ansätze und Anwendungen von AR gewinnen. Hierzu wird bei jedem Veranstaltungstermin ein oder mehrere repräsentative Papers zu verschiedenen Aspekten der AR besprochen. Die Aufgabe jedes Teilnehmers besteht dabei darin, einen solchen Vortrag (ca. 45 min) zu halten und mit der Gruppe zu diskutieren.

Organisation

• Das Seminar besteht aus 24 Vorträgen über eine Auswahl der unten aufgeführten Themen
• Das Seminar wird wöchentlich abgehalten.
• 2 Vorträge pro Seminar
• Dienstags von 12:00 - 13:00h (Gruppe I) und 16:00-17:00h (Gruppe II)

• Jeder Teilnehmer hält einen ca. 45-minütigen Vortrag.

Anforderungen

• Gut vorbereiteter Vortrag (~45 Min) mit anschließender Diskussion
• Handout (3-5 Seiten)
• Anwesenheit bei mindestens 10 Vorträgen
  • Lebhafte Beteiligung an der Diskussion zu den Vorträgen (Anmerkung: Die Fähigkeit zur kritischen und interessierten Aufnahme und Diskussion neuer Ideen ist ein Lernzeil dieser Veranstaltung. Es gibt keine dummen Fragen. Es ist auch ok, zu einem Vortragsthema Bedenken zu äußern.)
• Sprache für Vortrag, Folien und Handout: Deutsch oder (gerne auch!) Englisch

Zeitplanung zur Vorbereitung auf den eigenen Vortrag

• 2 Wochen vor dem Vortrag: Gliederung und Literaturliste
• 1 Woche vor dem Vortrag: Folien (Beispiel)

Anmerkungen:

• Da Augmented Reality ein sehr international geprägtes Gebiet ist, sind die bereitgestellten Unterlagen überwiegend in Englisch.
• Das aufgeführte Material reicht für mehr als einen Vortrag pro Thema. Der Umfang einzelner Vorträge wird in der Vorbesprechung, bzw. in Einzelbesprechungen während der Vorbereitungsphase festgelegt.
• Es wird erwartet, dass sich Vortragende selbstständig weitergehend zum ausgewählten Themabereich informieren und neuestes Material (z.B.: Videos oder Bilder) hinzufügen.
