Course DescriptionThis PhD seminar surveys research frontiers in augmented, mixed, and virtual reality (collectively referred to as `XR'). Seminar activities will have students read and debate landmark and recent papers while building lightweight prototypes and running small empirical studies. Topics include human perception and comfort in XR; tracking and sensor fusion (VIO/SLAM); displays and optics; rendering and performance (OpenXR/WebXR, foveation, edge/cloud); 3D interaction, haptics, and spatial audio; scene understanding and neural rendering (NeRF/gaussians); multi-user systems and synchronization; evaluation methods and analysis; and privacy, safety, and ethics. A semester-long team project culminates in a paper-style write-up, demo, and public presentation. Suitable for students targeting HCI, vision/graphics, systems, and ML for XR.
