![]() | Aims: To give students an advanced level understanding of current research issues in interactive computer graphics. To focus upon graphical methods, computer graphics theory, graphical interface design, and graphical simulation. To study the latest advances in computational geometry, graphical modelling and graphical simulation. Learning Outcomes: To obtain an in-depth understanding of computer graphics theory and methods in state-of-the-art computer graphics research. To develop a systematic understanding of graphical software development. To understand the interdisciplinary nature of advanced computer graphics and to be able to combine theories and principles to achieve correctly engineered simulations. To understand the implications of visual cognition, perception and human factors to creative graphical simulations. To be able to critically analyse a required simulation and map this analysis to the latest graphical solutions.
