Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• Students can classify, explain and select advanced VR and AR methods for a problem
• They are able to explain and characterize advanced methods of generating virtual organ and body models
• They know different approaches for patient modelling and can describe and explain the modelling assumptions
• They are able to assess the properties of different VR to real world registration methods and to select apparatuses and methods for a specific registration problem
• They know methods of computer-aided navigation and can explain the properties of different approaches and apply them exemplarily
• They will be able to characterize various advanced medical visualization techniques and to select and apply them in a meaningful and application-specific way
• They will be able to characterize different advanced haptic interaction techniques and to select and apply them in a problem-specific way
