Projects
It will be possible to gain a grade bonus of 0.3 by working on a project during the course. Three different options are available:
- i) Hololens project with Unity
- ii) AR desktop application with Unity and Vuforia
- iii) Literature review
Due to hardware constraints, it will not be possible for all students to work with the Hololens. In order to still provide a fair chance to everybody, there will a project pitch session before christmas during which you will present (in groups of 3-4 students) your project idea using a single slide. The best projects will be selected and implemented using the Hololens. All other projects will be implemented as AR desktop application with a webcam and marker tracking. Requests for literature reviews (including topic preferences) have to be sent to one of the tutors before the project pitch session.
Access to the Hololenses
in Garching will be provided as follows:
- There are two devices available. Access is first-come first-serve.
- The devices will be handed out for two-hour slots, which you can prolong unless another group requests access.
- You will need to provide a signature+deposit (some kind of ID) to borrow the device
- Access is provided on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 10:00 AM and ~5:00 PM, where you can just come to office 03.13.53.
- Outside of those hours, contact Jakob Weiss to see if it might still be possible.
Access to the Hololenses in the
NARVIS lab (close to Sendlinger Tor) will be provided as follows:
- There are two devices available. Access is first-come first-serve.
- The devices will be handed out for two-hour slots, which you can prolong unless another group requests access.
- You will need to provide a signature+deposit (some kind of ID) to borrow the device
- Access is provided on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 10:00 AM and ~5:00 PM
- Please contact Alexander Winkler the day before to make sure that a Hololens is available
- Outside of those hours, contact Alexander Winkler to see if it might still be possible.
