8. 0:29But what's next?
9. 0:31AML is becoming the brain of the future
10. 0:34technologies. XR is becoming the no
11. 0:38eyes, ears, nose, tongue and hands of
12. 0:41this future technologies. XR extended
13. 0:44reality includes virtual reality,
14. 0:46augmented reality and mixed reality and
15. 0:49haptics. In this course, you're going to
16. 0:52learn the fundamentals of XR from the
17. 0:55global leaders. Oculus co-founders,
18. 0:58Professor Steve Lavali and Professor
19. 1:00Anna Lavali are going to join with me to
20. 1:03teach you the the fundamentals of XR.
21. 1:06This course covers both fundamental and
22. 1:08practical aspects of virtual and
23. 1:10extended reality which is an emerging
24. 1:12technology that will transform our lives
25. 1:14in every aspect including the way we
26. 1:16learn, explore, work, improve our
27. 1:20health, play games, and just hang out
28. 1:22together for fun. It works by creating
29. 1:25illusions in the form of interactive
30. 1:27perceptual experiences. In other words,
31. 1:30it fools your brain and body. In the
32. 1:32course, we explain how this exciting
33. 1:34technology works, including human
34. 1:36psychology and physiology, optical
35. 1:38engineering, computer graphics, sensors,
36. 1:41and tracking. We also cover how to make
37. 1:43great experiences using the latest
38. 1:44tricks, and the Unity development
39. 1:46platform. Most importantly, we show how
40. 1:49to do it all on platforms that cost
41. 1:51under 1,000 rupees, making it accessible
42. 1:53to almost everyone. This course was
43. 1:56created in a joint effort between IIT
44. 1:58Madras and the University of Olu in
45. 2:00Finland. Combined, the instructors have
46. 2:02decades of experience in virtual reality
47. 2:05research and education and played a
48. 2:07critical role in the development of the
49. 2:09Oculus Rift, which was a milestone of
50. 2:12technological progress in this area. XR
51. 2:15wave is the next big wave. It is bigger
52. 2:18than the current a IML wave which are
53. 2:20all going through. If you want to stay
54. 2:22ahead of the curve, it is time to get
55. 2:25ready for the XR wave. Who can attend
56. 2:28this course? This course is open to
57. 2:30anyone who is interested in the XR.
58. 2:34Whether it is the beginner or
59. 2:37expert, whether they are experienced in
60. 2:40already some game engines like Unity 3D
61. 2:43or Unreal Engine, they will find
62. 2:46valuable insights to add value to their
63. 2:49career. This is designed for the
64. 2:51students, faculty and working
65. 2:53professionals irrespective of the

67. 2:58value. Welcome to this course and uh
68. 3:02enroll in this course and be a part of
69. 3:04the future not just the user of XR and
70. 3:08not only know learn the XR tools but
71. 3:12also learn how to design and create new
72. 3:15tools of the future. Welcome
