LAB OF VIRTUAL REALITY FOR HAPTIC EXPERIENCE

Course objectives

Aim of the laboratory is developing virtual reality environments that through real time simulations may be interfaced with haptic sensors. Students in small teams will be in charge of different steps (1 scene development and simulation; sensors selection and interfacing) to be interfaced at the end of the lab experience.

Course program
Learn how to carry out realtime simulation in Virtual Reality (VR) environments setting up projects applied to mechanical/industrial engineering purposes. Topics carried out during interactive lessons are: - VR concepts: hardware and software availability and trends - Introduction to Haptic devices for design porpuses and industrial applications Practical exercises are oriented to develop a project using specific software (such as matlab simulink, icido, geomagic) and hardware, applying learning by doing concepts.
