Syllabus:

In the face of the tremendous growth of complex, oftentimes low-structured multi-media data collections available through world-wide information networks it is getting increasingly important to find appropriate visualization methods for information system user interfaces. The steady rise of performance of modern workstation computers adds significance to three-dimensional perspective visualization, allowing users to simultaniously access overview as well as detail views in one-and-the-same virtual scene. Meanwhile, the virtual reality modeling language (VRML), a file format for describing interactive 3D objects and worlds, established as the standard for real-time 3D environments in the Web environment. These days, X3D is about to replace VRML. Moreover, alternative technologies appear on the scene. With their ability to handle user interaction and context-sensitive animation these technologies qualify for integrating interactive 3D visualziations into arbitrary applications. In this context we identified a growing demand for combining 3D-technology with state-of-the-art database and the upcoming web service technology in order to meet the increasing requirements of professional office and business applications. Description for the Virtual Realities hands-on training Hemmje, Jäschke The hands-on training offers a variety of design and implementation challenges in the area of data-based VRML/X3D applications in multi-user virtual environments. For the development tasks, our student laboratories are equipped with most modern multi-media PCs with full-fledged internet access and up-to-date software installations.
