Introduction

Virtual & augmented reality (VAR) is widely considered as an enabling technology of Industry 4.0. This course provides valuable channels necessary for students interested in next generation of manufacturing. The course will be divided into three parts. Part 1 is an introduction to the course and the fundamentals of VAR. Part 2 is the applications of VAR in manufacturing. Part 3 is a hands-on which will be held in NTU’s VAR Flipped Classroom.


The training provides participants with:
• Knowledge on virtual & augmented reality and their applications
• Basic skills for virtual & augmented reality applications 
• An abridgement of virtual & augmented reality techniques in relation to manufacturing
• Development of an insight for Industry 4.0
