The main goal of the course is to look into Virtual and Augmented Reality and investigate how this technology, together with the recent developments in AI and Robotics, support sustainability and green transition. The course starts with a brief overview of the concept of reality and virtuality and looks into some fundamentals of human perception and action. It explores, for example, how we build mental representations and why we perceive some artificially created experiences as real even when we know that they are fictional. We will also apply the concept of artificial sensory stimulation to other living organisms and look into experiments on virtual reality for other animals and even ants. The course then proceeds to look into the fundamental research in reality-virtuality continuum and an overview of relevant technologies. We will see how modern graphics and rendering technology allows to “hijack” human sensory input and how tracking technologies allow to collect data from human actions. This vital concept and technology part will serve as a foundation to discuss further questions related to application of Virtual and Augmented Reality. Those include ethics of extended reality applications, for example related to neuroplasticity effects of virtual reality or user profiling, or cybersecurity aspect of possible user identification. However, the main focus of the course is on sustainability and green transition. The course looks beyond the potential ability of virtual and augmented reality technologies to reduce the need for physical travel (e.g. through telepresence), and discusses such topics related to Industry 5.0. For example, design and simulation, where modern technology allows to reduce the needs for physical prototyping and helps to optimize product development processes, or industrial process optimization through digital tweens, or immersive training and education, allowing adaptive learning pace for each student. The course includes an invited lecture with industry professionals.

As an energy carrier, hydrogen plays a crucial role in decarbonization and the future of a low-carbon society, where hydrogen production is one of the most important steps in the hydrogen chain. Hydrogen itself can be produced from different processes, and different colors were used to identify the environmental impact, where green hydrogen has been identified as the best in the future. However, the green hydrogen covers only about 1% of the world's production, even with increasing interest. Therefore, learning more about the green hydrogen production will be essential to reach the goal. In the course of hydrogen production, different technologies will be briefly discussed, and the green hydrogen production via water electrolysis or biomass gasification will be the focus, where the principle, component, process, together with sector coupling, will be discussed, and the state-of-the-art and the potential will be covered. To combine with specific implementation and special interests, one seminar, together with a report, will be arranged.
