The goal of the course is to introduce students to virtual and augmented reality and to their use in selected parts of economy and company environment. We focus on virtual world Second Life, which allows us to examine virtual reality. Students are developing skills necessary to have for efficient working in virtual worlds and getting familiar with new progress in information and communication technologies. The users create avatars their digital representatives in 3D environment Second Life. The activities are often based on team cooperation, for example business meetings, development and design of products, education of employees, distance learning. Other 3D environments are examined and the findings are compared to current trends in virtual and augmented reality field. During the course students will be using communication skills in English.
