Description
Based on the properties of modern graphics-oriented input / output
devices and by taking into account aspects of human perception, the
basics of interactive 2D raster graphics (such as line drawin, polygon
filling, text rendering, color, image manipulation, and window
management) are discussed. Moreover, methods for designing dialogs and
interaction techniques for graphical user interfaces are
presented. Subsequently, the following aspects of 3D computer graphics
are considered: graphics pipeline, geometric modeling, transformation
between various coordinate systems, perspective projection, hidden
surface removal, and lighting and shading. The final part of the
course covers an outlook onto methods and applications of scientific
visualization.
This year's course on Graphical-Interactive Systems is very closely
related to last year's course "Grundlagen der Interaktiven Systeme", which
was held in German. For those who prefer German slides:
