CMSC5716 Web-based
Graphics and Virtual Reality
Course Description
This
course aims to provide students the platform to learn about interactive media
and virtual reality with emphasis on their internet applications. Up-to-date
interactive media techniques, including modeling, rendering, illumination,
texture mapping, animation, and visualization, will be introduced in the
first-half of the course. The second-half course will focus on the Web-based VR
interfaces which build up the fundamental basis for testing new ideas and
alternative solution for the latest VR research, including VR scene modeling,
dynamic objects, interactive navigation and sensors, real-time rendering, and
diversifed web-based VR applications.
