CRCD: Wireless Multimedia Communications for Virtual Environments

0088071Dickerson，Julie A.爱荷华州立大学CRCD：虚拟环境的无线多媒体通信这个项目涉及将研究从几个领域转移到一个不寻常的课程中，为该大学的高水平本科生和入门水平的研究生服务。该项目将通信、射频(RF)和超大规模集成(VLSI)硬件和软件设计的概念与虚拟环境整合到一个跨学科课程中，教授学生硬件/软件协同设计。该课程(包括三门新课程)将学生和教师团队聚集在一起，他们为复杂的问题创造解决方案，这些问题结合了人为因素、实时系统、紧凑型可穿戴计算机和高度复杂的图形。这三门新课程涵盖了实时软件的软件工程、实用无线设备的设计和虚拟环境的设计。该项目开发的课程持续融合了虚拟现实、传感器设计和无线多媒体方面的高级研究课题。通过为通信、VLSI电路设计和沉浸式环境提供跨学科工作的场所，该课程提供了复杂系统协同设计方面的协调经验，并显著拓宽了学生在该领域的技能。

0088071Dickerson, Julie A.Iowa State UniversityCRCD: Wireless Multimedia Communications for Virtual EnvironmentsThis project involves the transfer of research from several areas into an unusual curriculum that serves upper-level undergraduate and introductory-level graduate students at this university. The project integrates concepts from communications, radio frequency (RF) and very large scale integrated (VLSI) hardware and software design, with virtual environments into an interdisciplinary program that teaches students hardware/software co-design. The curriculum (that includes three new courses) brings together teams of students and faculty who create solutions to complex problems that combine human factors, real-time systems, compact wearable computers, and highly sophisticated graphics. The three new classes cover software engineering for real-time software, the design of practical wireless devices, and the design of virtual environments. The curriculum developed in this project continually incorporates advanced research topics in virtual reality, sensor design, and wireless multimedia. By providing a venue for interdisciplinary work in communications, VLSI circuit design, and immersive environments, the curriculum offers coordinated experiences in complex system co-design and significantly broadens student skills in this area.
