UCLA computer science class integrates virtual world into reality
Ford, a lecturer in the computer science department, aims to develop gaming as a subfield of graphics at UCLA through her courses on virtual reality and artificial intelligence. This quarter, Ford’s virtual reality class, “Advanced Game Development for Virtual Reality,” is using gesture-tracking to create its own virtual reality games, following in the footsteps of her spring class, “Virtual Reality Game Development.”
Ford said the interactions between players and artificial intelligence, built off the programming and testing done by students like Corbalis and Morgan, gave rise to pre-patterns of coding, which can be used by game developers across the world to create even more virtual reality games.
In August, Ford presented pre-patterns within her class’ games on stage at SIGGRAPH. During Ford’s presentation, the student-created games were met with cheering and applause from developers in the audience, she said.
