متن کاملAn Introductory Course on Graphical-Interactive Systems: Combining Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Graphics
In this paper we report on five years of teaching experience with our introductory course “Graphical-Interactive Systems”, which covers basic Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Graphics (CG) topics for students in the third year of their major in computer science. Although the two fields of HCI and CG are usually taught in different courses, we believe that they have much in common a...
