Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Objectives:  

Explore the chosen specialisation from a formal perspective with a focus on exploring the relationships between real and artificially generated stimuli. Develop and evaluate an application in the chosen specialisation investigating this issue in terms of either: 1) emulating reality, 2) enhancing reality or virtuality, or 3) transforming reality into novel forms of expression and aesthetics.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:

• Must be able to understand core elements in computer graphics in terms of fundamental radiometric/photometric concepts, and advanced modelling and animation techniques
• Must be able to understand principles of modelling and animation of 3D computer graphics content
• Must be able to understand how some of the models applied in computer graphics relate to the real physical world

Skills

Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:

• Must be able to apply computer graphics related concepts, tools, and technologies to create products with a conscious and purposive relation to applicable concepts and phenomena of the real world
• Produce a project report according to norms of the area, take into consideration relevant literature, apply correct terminology and convey the research-based foundation, problem and results of the project orally and in writing in a coherent manner, including the relationship between the problem formulation, the project’s realization and its conclusions
• Evaluate and select relevant literature, scientific methods and models and other tools for application in the project work, and evaluate the project’s problem area in a relevant scientific context

Competences

Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:

• Must be able to evaluate and select relevant computer graphics theories, methods, and tools, and synthesize them to produce new knowledge and solutions
• Plan, execute and manage complex research and/or development tasks, and assume a professional responsibility for carrying out, potentially cross-disciplinary, collaborations
• Assume responsibility for own scientific development and specialization
