Engineering in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence

Knowledge and understanding: Have the student acquire the basics of 3D graphic programming with particular emphasis on animation and interactive visualization techniques. In particular the topics covered include: Fundamentals of computer graphics, interactive rendering and animation, graphics pipeline, transformations, visualizations, rasterization, lighting and shading, texture-mapping, animation techniques based on keyframes, physical simulations, particle systems and animation of characters. An introduction to computing on specialized graphics hardware (GPGU) will also be provided. Applying knowledge and understanding: To make the student familiar with the mathematical techniques underlying 3D graphics, as well as the ability to program complex and interactive environments in 3D graphics using the OpenGL library or one of its variants Making judgements: Deep understanding of the operation of a 3D graphics system in its hardware and software components. Knowledge of the HTML5 standard and the Javascript language, application of the WebGL library and some higher level libraries. Understanding of the problems of efficiency and visual quality of 3D graphics applications Communication skills: Development of interactive applications on the web in 3D graphics. Learning skills: Ability to understand the technical complexities in the realization of interactive applications in 3D graphics. Ability to critically analyze the solutions on the market and analyze strengths and weaknesses.
