Abstract:
Due to recent developments in hardware and software, it is now possible to teach true three-dimensional graphics in any college environment, but this requires rethinking the typical senior-level graphics class. A three-dimensional graphics course using OpenGL is far more exciting than a traditional graphics class and presents students an opportunity to explore the wonders of computer-generated imagery and learn to design their own applications. This presentation demonstrated that this approach is both feasible and effective.
