From a headset to a working system
VR is more than an image around your head.
A good immersive application combines technology, space, interaction, 3D content, performance and user comfort. That is why we work across several areas.
3D worlds and simulations
Scene creation, optimisation, physics, data visualisation and applications built with Unity and Unreal Engine.
User validation
Usability, orientation, motion sickness, ergonomics and testing whether an immersive experience actually fulfils its purpose.
VR activities, consultations and equipment loans are organised in conjunction with ggLab. Specific devices and dates must be arranged in advance.
Hands-on teaching
From first principles to your own VR project.
Teaching combines a technical foundation, engine development, interaction design and a team project. The courses follow one another in the VCGD curriculum.
ANI-PVR · 5 ECTS
Advanced Virtual Reality
Advanced VR principles, interaction design, immersive application development and teamwork on an original project.

Virtual worlds and game design
BI-VHS combines building a team virtual world with game design principles and practical engine work.
BI-VHS on FIT Course Pages ↗Equipment and classroom
More devices, more ways to validate.
The specialised classroom supports larger groups. Additional ggLab headsets cover projects with different display, tracking and mobility requirements.
Teaching headset set
Capacity for shared hands-on teaching and parallel testing of student projects.
XTAL and PC VR
Headsets for demanding visualisation, high resolution and experiments requiring workstation performance.
Standalone headsets
HTC Focus 3, HTC Vive and Quest for mobile development, rapid prototyping and presentations outside the lab.
What is built in VR
Teaching continues through projects.
Student work ranges from 3D scene editors and universal gestures to historical reconstructions and medical or scientific visualisation.
Student projects
Scenes, interactions and prototypes
Original VR applications, Unity tools, hand tracking, pixel streaming and experimental movement and manipulation techniques.

Courses and public workshops
The specialised classroom also hosts workshops and courses where participants create their own 3D worlds, objects and avatars.
Summer VR course at FIT (Czech) ↗Project, teaching or equipment loan
Describe what you want to build in VR.
Include the project's goal, platform or engine, required equipment and expected dates. We can help choose an appropriate workflow and facilities.
