What now?

Last semester’s curriculum primarily revolved around theoretical aspects. For the upcoming semester, I aim to adopt a more practical approach towards the subject. This will involve actively engaging with various XR applications and models for comparative analysis and learning. Additionally, I plan to implement the concepts learned in my own projects and create case studies for them.
