Brief description of the workshop:
Globally, demand is increasing for skilled professionals proficient in immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). According to Goldman Sachs reports that the AR/VR industry will be worth $95 billion by 2025. At the same time, running in parallel is AI and machine learning, which are not only becoming mainstream quickly, but are now considered mission-critical for modern business.
The Eight-week Foundation course on Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) provides working professionals with the essential Unity3D skills / tools needed to build VR AR apps by better understanding of these emerging technologies. Valuable insights from a distinguished IIT Madras faculty members and Industry leaders will help them to acquire critical knowledge of perceptual engineering and AR VR system design principles. This program also offers participants a project development workflow to create a presentable prototype. Theoretical concepts will be supplemented with hands-on tutorials via demonstrations and (optional) assignments.
