===Description===
 
 
This course focuses on the design and evaluation of three-dimensional (3D) user interfaces, devices, and interaction techniques. The course consists primarily of lectures and hands-on programming. Students will be expected to implement several 3D interaction techniques as part of this course. This course is intended to lay the foundation for 3D user interaction as it can be applied to novel user interfaces for computer games and consumer electronics, as well as virtual and augmented reality applications.

You can write on the exam sheets and use your own sheets of paper if you need more space. The instructor will provide additional sheets and scratch paper as needed. At the end of the exam you will need to hand in the exam sheets along with any extra sheets you want to get graded on.
