Amazing AR/VR class. He's awesome and passionate about the technology and the content offered is out of this world. You'll get to use VR in the lab once a week and go through amazing experiences. You'll get to look at top-notch research and find out how AR/VR is influencing the world. Two easy and fun projects and the rest is participation grades.

Professor Liao is awesome! He loves what he does and you can really see that, his work ethic is demonstrated through each class lecture, he prepares and makes each lecture engaging! You do have some work each week but nothing too crazy because even the hw is interesting and you enjoy it. I would take this class again!

Tony is friendly and clearly very knowledgeable about AR and VR, but the lecture periods are basically 80 minutes of nonstop information. It's very easy to zone out. The assignments are also very long (8+ pages each), and he assigns research papers to read every week. Overall, lots more work than I would expect from an elective.

I took DIGM 4397 - AV/VR with Professor Liao at the University of Houston. The class had incredible lectures and interesting project portions. For part of our class, we did weekly sessions in virtual reality headsets. There are a lot of academic readings assigned, but you are also not expected to memorize them to an absurd degree. Great Professor.
