About the Course:

This course aims at teaching the various aspects that must be considered in order to create an Augmented Reality (AR) application. These aspects concern low-level implementation as well as high level implementation and therefore cover the full bandwidth of challenges in building an AR application. The students will be taught how to use modern Software Development Toolkits and off-the-shelf hardware to program a stand-alone AR application during the semester.

This time the course will focus on the visualization of tracking accuracy, as well as general sensor visualization.

Example for Tracking setup:

Visualization of tracking accuracy:

Visualization of camera frustrum:
