چکیده
Computer science students contemplating a career in graphics need to develop a visual sense, but traditional course topics do not meet this need. Visual analysis is a teaching technique developed for computer science instructors that helps impart this ability. Through the use of a few visual cues, students learn to visually identify surface algorithms, shaders and lighting techniques. An interactive software package called TERA (Tool for Exploring Rendering Algorithms) provides nearly a million image combinations that students can use to practice their visual identification skills.

متن کاملVisualizing Quaternions Course Notes for SIGGRAPH ’99 Course Organizer
This tutorial focuses on establishing an intuitive visual understanding of the relationship between ordinary 3D rotations and their quaternion representations. We begin building this intuition by showing how quaternion-like properties appear and can be exploited even in 2D space. Quaternions are then introduced in several alternative representations that do not necessarily require abstract math...
