This course is a graduate seminar on the design and evaluation of three-dimensional user interfaces (3D UIs) and 3D interaction techniques. 3D interaction is a specialized sub-area of human- computer interaction (HCI). The course also draws from the disciplines of computer graphics, virtual environments, and cognitive and perceptual psychology. Students will learn about existing 3D interaction techniques and strategies through a combination of hands-on experience, discussion of relevant literature, and traditional lectures. Students will also explore new directions in 3D UIs through a major research project.
