[visionlist] course on Unity and VR -- hybrid format

[Richard F Murray]

An update: the course on Unity and VR that I'm teaching at the Color and Imaging Conference on October 29 (see below) will now be offered in a hybrid format, so anyone who's interested can attend in person or online. The course is about using a programming environment, so I think it will lend itself to a hybrid format quite well.

In case this is of interest, I'm teaching a new, hands-on short course at the Color and Imaging Conference this fall, on creating experiments with Unity and VR. It's on October 29 in Montréal.

Lately I've run experiments using Unity and VR, and found that there are many, not always well-documented details that have to be gotten right in order to create well-controlled stimuli and tasks. I'll cover those in this course, and I think one of the main benefits is that it could save other labs a lot of time figuring out those details on their own.

I'll also cover things that are required for Unity and not common in other psychophysical environments, such as the C# language, luminance calibration via tonemapping, and coding an experiment through a small number of callback functions.

Feel free to write with questions about the course. You can find more information here:

    (See Courses/Workshops tab)

For conflict-of-interest reasons I should mention too that CIC pays people who teach short courses.

Best,
