CS482: Interactive Computer Graphics

Fall 2022

Instructor

Prof. Min Hyuk Kim, [Room] 2403, E3-1, [email]

Course Description

This course is a team project-based course that gives you an opportunity to build your own interactive appliation as a mobile video game on a mobile platform, Android OS. The goal of this course is to learn how to create your own interactive graphics application from designing to building via collaborative programming. We will study the foundations of computer graphics used to define shapes, materials and lighting and practice for use in mobile graphics enviroments. This course starts with essential foundations and introduction to advanced topics for interactive computer graphics. And main team-project activities will follow, including team presentation, progress reports and the final presentations.
