Course Description

Interactive computer graphics is the art and science of creation, manipulation and viewing of the objects representations using computer technologies. This requires the design and construction of models that represent objects in ways that support the creation and viewing of them first, than the design of devices and techniques through which the person may interact with the model or the view and the creation of techniques for rendering and preserving the model. The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to the theory and practice of computer graphics.
