Course description
This course will include a short overview of the major applications of interactive computer graphics systems. Hardware and software requirements for highly interactive graphic systems and new VLSI devices available for graphic systems will be discussed. Solutions to some of the problems generated by the interactive nature of the simulator, such as transport delays, image fidelity and frame rate updates, will be examined. Guidelines for producing the best possible game design and animation system for a given hardware configuration will be discussed. The last session in the course will be devoted to the future of video games.
