Content

The seminar will begin with an emphasis on the basic prose style for writing an excellent literature review and dissemination of experimental results. Students will then be separated into small groups and work towards the submission of a complete literature review on one of the selected research topics below.

The seminar will cover the following selected topics:

• Medical Augmented Reality technologies and HMDs
• User Interfaces & Range Imaging Sensors
• Multimodal Visualization
• Medical Simulation Environments

Grades

• Final grades will be determined on the quality of the literature review submission (50%) and the final oral presentation (50%).
• Literature review: 10 pages
• Oral presentation: 15 minutes
• Mandatory attendance since the course is held every 2 weeks.
