Sensing Media - Computer Graphics
2018/2019
Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module
BSc in Medialogy or equivalentContent, progress and pedagogy of the module
Objectives:
Investigate the chosen specialization from a formal perspective, with a focus on one or more of the following: 1) exploiting the possibilities and/or limitations offered by the perceptual system, 2) exploring the functioning of a particular cognitive process, 3) constructing an application or a part of an application in the chosen specialization, or 4) analyzing and evaluating the developed application demonstrating how it supports, relies on, or exploits specific modalities or features of the perceptual system.
Additionally, students are required to work according to a scientific method and to report results in scientific forms, such as papers and posters.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
Students who complete the module will gain the following qualifications:
Must be able to understand the core elements in computer graphics in terms of 3D geometry modelling and representation, surface material properties, and illumination conditions and relevant models for these
Must be able to understand the principles in real-time (accelerated) and/or non-real-time (ray traced) computer graphics
Must be able to understand central issues relating to the human visual system (sensation, perception and cognition)
Skills
Students who complete the module will gain the following qualifications:
Must be able to apply a graphics API such as OpenGL, a rendering package, or a game engine to design and implement a system which uses computer graphics as output modality
Competences
Students who complete the module will gain the following qualifications:
Must be able to apply an understanding of the affordances and the limitations in the human visual system in the design of a computer graphics based solution, or in the evaluation of such a system
Must be able to synthesize relevant computer graphics theory, techniques and tools to produce new knowledge and/or solutions
Must be able to communicate, discuss and evaluate research-based knowledge in the area of 3D computer graphics in the formats of a scientific paper and a poster, and in the format of a 15 minute conference presentation
