This page hosts some additional course materials for the Perception & Interfaces module at UCL Computer Science. For the main body of course materials, please see the Moodle page.

Practical Lab Sessions

The pages below contain information and links to online experiments for the first four weeks of Thursday morning practicals.

• Week 1 (11 Jan 2024): Psychophysics
• Week 2 (18 Jan 2024): Colour & Contrast
• Week 3 (25 Jan 2024): Auditory Perception
• Week 4 (01 Feb 2024): Data & Tactility

Briefings for weeks 5-10 are (or will be) on Moodle.

For these sessions we will make use of the Unity game engine. Please install this before Lab 5. The suggested Unity version is 2019.4.34f1 [Windows, Mac], but in practice more recent versions also seem to work fine. Do not be intimidated by Unity’s licensing structure – the free personal version is sufficient, and you do not need to install any additional “build support” modules.

The lab content is provided in custom Unity packages, which can be downloaded here.

Coursework

There is one assessed coursework component, worth 30% of the overall module marks. Details of this assignment can be found at the link below.
