3D Scanning and Freeform Modeling (HS)

Abstract

Design in virtual space -360 ° Reality to Virtuality (052-0523-00L) meets 3D Scanning & Modeling (052-0521-00L)

Objective

Our program this semester is to try out virtual design with the technology of VR glasses in the form of independent work. We make every effort to ensure that new design techniques are taught at the ETH and that they find their way into design practice. The aim is to be able to scan and digitize the existing building structure and then to learn to expand and adapt it with the virtual VR Sketch Tool. It is a completely new technology for us architects. First we have to calibrate our senses and think differently in order to understand the possibilities of the tools. Finally, we will work together on a submission of VR architecture and present it in our showroom in HIL F.

Our program this semester is to try out virtual design with the technology of VR glasses in the form of independent work. We at the Chair of Architecture and Art endeavor to ensure that new design techniques are taught at the ETH and find their way into design practice. The aim is to be able to scan and digitize existing building structures and then to learn to expand and adapt them with virtual VR sketch tools. It is a completely new technology for us architects. First we have to calibrate our senses and think differently in order to understand the possibilities of the tools. Finally, we will work together on a submission of VR architecture and present it in our showroom in HIL F. We will run the courses as follows this semester. 1. Both courses are combined. (2 x 2 ECTS points & please enter both courses) 2. Present tense lessons (online or physically according to the instructions of the school management, Mondays 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Course time 3D Modeling) 3. Self-study Mondays from 12 noon to 2 pm (course time 360 ​​° Reality to Virtuality) in self-study or whenever you can find the time. We will provide Oculus Quest 2 glasses for each course participant. To register for the “virtual design” course, a deposit fee of CHF 200.00 is required for the Oculus Quest 2 VR glasses. This deposit must be submitted to the professorship no later than 2 weeks before the start of the course. This will also give you the Oculus Quest 2. (Maria Hil F 46/48, every Monday and Tuesday afternoon) The glasses remain in your possession until December 20th, 2021 and you have a reserved place in the course. In the event of loss or defect without guarantee coverage, you will be charged CHF 510.00. Less the prepaid deposit of CHF 200.00 If you have your own Oculus Quest 1 & 2 VR glasses, you can also be there. When registering in the system, please provide a separate e-mail to [email protected] . Of course, there are no custody fees.
