Content and Learning Outcomes

Course Contents

• Transformations, lighting models, rendering, animation, determination of visible surfaces, procedural generation algorithms.
• Human-computer interaction methods for interactive computer graphics.
• Interactive applications developed using graphics libraries, real-time game engines, and 3D modeling programs.
• Project of the student's own choice to deepen knowledge in a specific area of computer graphics and interaction.

Intended Learning Outcomes

After passing the course, students should be able to:

• Explain and program important algorithms for computer graphics, such as transformations, lighting models, and rendering techniques.
• Select, motivate, and use an appropriate programming language, graphics library, game engine, and/or modeling application to create 3D objects, environments, and visualizations.
• Develop a specification for a problem or design in computer graphics and interaction, and then build a solution and visualize the results.
