Abstract

© Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Belgrade. All rights reserved. Immersive Virtual Reality course is, in addition to Basics of Virtual Reality, one of the two courses in applied 3D visualisation offered at the Faculty of Digital Production at the Educons University in Sremska Kamenica, Serbia. The purpose of this course is two-fold: to provide students with a profound understanding of the fundamentals of Virtual Reality and to gain practical experience. The students attending this course learnt about the latest technology of Virtual Reality using the virtual reality headset - Oculus Rift. This paper presents the structure of the Immersive Virtual Reality course, which provides the students of technical orientation with a connection to the state of the art visualisation aspect of digital production. The outcome of the course is the final project, done by each individual student, which involves the implementation of a VR system that students are able to use. The results achieved in the course are displayed and analysed in this paper.
