International University of Applied Sciences

Bachelor of Science - Applied Artificial Intelligence

Whether it’s making large-scale industry, multinational companies, or even your home smarter, AI is changing the world we live in. IU’s B.Sc. Applied Artificial Intelligence means you can be a driving force behind this change going into the future.

As modern technology develops, artificial intelligence tools are becoming an inextricable part of our life. We might not be aware of it but we are dependent on these tools for our day to day functioning. Whether it’s instructing digital personal assistants, or something extraordinary like designing self-driving cars, Artificial intelligence is a unique, multidisciplinary field. A Bachelor in Applied Artificial Intelligence will give you the skills to combine computing techniques and the psychology of human learning processes with new innovations in artificial intelligence in order to apply computing in challenging applications. Knowledge of UI/UX, machine learning, robotics, software and app development, speech and image processing will make our students perfect candidates to join international leaders in Artificial Intelligence technology.

Electives

In your fifth and sixth semesters you get to choose elective modules equalling 30-ECTS. Choose from AI-specific modules such as augmented, mixed and virtual reality, autonomous dirving or automation and robotics as well as more business-focused modules such as applied sales, international marketing and branding and supply chain management. This gives you the option to really hone in on your preferences and get knowledge of how to use them in the business world.

AUGMENTED, MIXED UND VIRTUAL REALITY

Augmented, mixed and virtual reality (AR, MR and VR) technologies are becoming increasingly important in a variety of application areas. New types of hardware devices and forms of interaction are used here. In addition to the technical features, this course deals with aspects of human perception and approaches to the development of AR/VR applications.

The definition and delimitation of the terms augmented, mixed and virtual reality as well as the demonstration of application examples initially give students an understanding of the field.

In order to suggest the existence of a virtual world or virtual objects to users, aspects of human perception must be used. Based on the fundamentals of human information processing, the phenomena, problems and solutions that must be taken into account in AR and VR applications are shown.

AR and VR systems can be realised in various ways. This course addresses different output forms, tracking methods and interaction possibilities. In addition, other techniques are highlighted that are especially important in the AR field.

Software development in AR and VR may require the application of specific processes. This course teaches selected approaches that are helpful in the design, prototyping and testing of AR and VR applications.

Finally, an outlook on future applications and the research potential of augmented, mixed and virtual reality is given.
