Short descriptions of selected modules

Multimedia Design

Advances in IT have made it possible to deliver audio and video content (images, sound, animation) in lots of new ways. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with tools and techniques for presentation, processing, compression, and transmission of digital images. You will learn how to apply specialized authoring software in creating, editing and processing digital multimedia content.

Programming of Augmented Reality Systems

Special systems that combine real world with virtual reality can be found in the entertainment industry, medical industry, marketing, prototyping, management or commerce. A good example of this technology is a virtual fitting room. The course is geared to providing students with the basics of how cutting-edge interfaces for human-tomachine communication are designed and programmed. You will learn how to design and develop augmented reality applications.

Multimedia

Multimedia is content that uses a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, video and interactive content. Multimedia contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material.

Reality

Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent, as opposed to that which is merely imaginary. The term is also used to refer to the ontological status of things, indicating their existence. Philosophical questions about the nature of reality or existence or being are considered under the rubric of ontology, which is a major branch of metaphysics in the Western philosophical tradition. Ontological questions also feature in diverse branches of philosophy, including the philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophical logic. These include questions about whether only physical objects are real (i.e., Physicalism), whether reality is fundamentally immaterial (e.g., Idealism), whether hypothetical unobservable entities posited by scientific theories exist, whether God exists, whether numbers and other abstract objects exist, and whether possible worlds exist.

Virtual

An item may sometimes be described as being a virtual item when it is a representation or non-tangible abstraction of the physical object, or is a functional emulation or simulation of it.

Reality

There's times to be real, and there's times to be phony. That's right, I said it, phony! You think I'm this nice in real life? Fuck that, son! That's just 'cause I'm on TV. I'd pull my balls out right now... skeet skeet skeet skeet!

Reality

Already in 1948, observations... agreed with quantum mechanics, not with local realism.
