Guidelines for Instructor's Manual The instructor‘s manual is to be developed as a reference and hands-on resource. It should include prologue (about University/program/ institute/ department/foreword/ preface), University syllabus, conduction & Assessment guidelines, topics under consideration, concept, objectives, outcomes, set of typical applications/assignments/ guidelines, and references. Guidelines for Student's Laboratory Journal The laboratory assignments are to be submitted by student in the form of journal. Journal consists of Certificate, table of contents, and handwritten write-up of each assignment (Title, Date of Completion, Objectives, Problem Statement, Software & Hardware requirements, Assessment grade/marks and assessor's sign, Theory- Concept in brief, algorithm, flowchart, test cases, Test Data Set(if applicable), mathematical model (if applicable), conclusion/analysis. Program codes with sample output of all performed assignments are to be submitted as softcopy. As a conscious effort and little contribution towards Green IT and environment awareness, attaching printed papers as part of write-ups and program listing to journal must be avoided. Use of DVD containing students programs maintained by Laboratory In-charge is highly encouraged. For reference one or two journals may be maintained with program prints in the Laboratory. Guidelines for Laboratory /TW Assessment Continuous assessment of laboratory work should be based on overall performance of Laboratory assignments by a student. Each Laboratory assignment assessment will assign grade/marks based on parameters, such as timely completion, performance, innovation, efficient codes, punctuality and neatness. Guidelines for Laboratory Conduction The instructor is expected to frame the assignments by understanding the prerequisites, technological aspects, utility and recent trends related to the topic. The assignment framing policy need to address the average students and inclusive of an element to attract and promote the intelligent students. Use of open source software is encouraged. Based on the concepts learned. Instructor may also set one assignment or mini-project that is suitable to respective branch beyond the scope of syllabus. Operating System recommended :- 64-bit Windows OS Programming tools recommended: - Unity, C#, Blender, VRTK. VR Devices: HTC Vive, Google Cardboard, Google Daydream and Samsung gear VR. Suggested List of Laboratory Experiments/Assignments (Implementation of each problem statement is mandatory.) Sr. No. Group A 1. Installation of Unity and Visual Studio, setting up Unity for VR development, understanding documentation of the same. 2. Demonstration of the working of HTC Vive, Google Cardboard, Google Daydream and Samsung gear VR. 3.
