4 semester hoursGraduateLecture
Introduces the field of agent-based computing as enablers of metaverse social avatar systems. Focuses on important aspects that shape the agent’s experience within the challenging virtual-reality design and engineering landscape. Covers personal space, personified locomotion, agent aesthetics, agent social interactions, and agent’s relation to blockchain decentralized virtual identity. Students engage in projects to deliver VR platforms applicable to engineering fields such as mechanical, civil, chemical, and bioengineering. Considers distributed learning applications and certification of credentials, as well. Offers students an opportunity to learn how to configure various agent types to construct virtual worlds bursting with lively agent interactive experiences that go far beyond the constraints of the physical reality.
