This course covers the fundamentals of virtual reality systems, including geometric modeling, transformations, graphical rendering, optics, the human vision, auditory, and vestibular systems, interface design, human factors, developer recommendations, and technological issues.

The instructor is Prof. Steven LaValle, who is a world-class expert on VR technologies, currently serving as the Chief Scientist in the VR department at Huawei Technologies. He wrote a textbook on the subject called "Virtual Reality."
