Overview

This course covers the fundamental concepts, techniques, and algorithms of interactive computer graphics. The topics covered are directly related to any application domain that displays 3D information, including video games, VR/AR, metaverse, special effects in movies, computer-aided design, and human-computer interaction. This is a project-heavy course with multiple programming assignments.

Textbook

This course does not follow a textbook. It may cover small sections of the textbooks below. The textbooks are recommended but not required.

Programming Assignments

We will use OpenGL and PyGlet to implement the projects. All projects are individual projects. Group projects are not permitted. Therefore, each student must write their own code. Collaboration between students is encouraged, but code-sharing is not allowed. External libraries, resources, and source code can be used only for additional functionalities that are not core parts of the projects, and they should be indicated in comments within the source code.
