Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the main 3D technologies used to present spatial data. The main emphasis will be given to creation and acquisition of 3D models and their subsequent processing for display using virtual reality, 3D printing and haptic environments.
The course is aimed at acquiring knowledge. Define the main concepts, describe the main approaches, demonstrate theoretical knowledge for solving model problems.
