TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO VIRTUAL REALITY
Being a non-techie, I find this course quite easy to understand. The required readings are academic papers and I took some time to understand them but it is good quality readings.
The 4th week was really interesting and the assignments were fun. However, other lectures were a bit boring and the material was quite obvious, so giving it 4 weeks is too long.
The course is highly recommended by me. Learned so many things at once. All the lecturers are too good in illustrating a complex issues and now my basic ideas about virtual reality is clear and wider.
As a person had not any knowledge about the Virtual Reality, this course would be great. And, it was helpful in particular, reading and additional parts help to you increase your knowledge.
