Incorporating Virtual Reality Concepts into the Introductory Computer Graphics Course
نویسنده
چکیده
While an exciting and contemporary field, the subject of virtual reality (VR) receives little treatment in most undergraduate computer science curriculums. This paper describes the author’s efforts to provide an overview of VR as the final component of his introductory computer graphics course. Specifically, students learn about the defining characteristics of VR and some of its enabling technologies. The course concludes with the students gaining practical experience in the field by developing their own VR applications.

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...
