Course content
Lecture: In the lecture part of the course students will learn about the development trends that led to the formation of the digital enterprise, its definition and short history, which is related to the description of the main development trends that lead to the philosophy of Industry 4.0. They will be able to list the basic benefits of using the concept of digital enterprise and Industry 4.0. Last but not least, they will learn about possible software support in this area. In the area of virtual reality and augmented reality, the subject is focused primarily on the historical development of systems, explains the main technical principles and demonstrates possible areas of application or deployment of these so-called immersion technologies (especially in industry). Practical examples of laserscanning are included in the course. Students will be able to practically learn new technologies. Introduction. Conditions for granting credit. Immersion technology - motivational lecture. Use of virtual and augmented reality in industrial companies. Preliminary lecture structure (this can change, e.g. according actual trends): 1. Introduction. Conditions for granting credit. Immersion technology - motivational lecture. 2. Use of virtual and augmented reality in industrial enterprises 3. Basics of 3D computer graphics 4. Virtual reality (VR) - visualization and haptic aspect 5. Digital Enterprise and Industry 4.0 6. Practical applications of the CoR 7. Hardware and Motion Capture 8. Augmented reality 9. Serious games 10. 3D Laserscanning 11. Work on semestral work 12. Invited lecture (e.g. Use of VR in psychiatry) 13. Presentation and pre-term
