COMPUTER GRAPHICS

COMPSCI/DS 579

Introduces the field of virtual reality with an emphasis on creating immersive, interactive virtual experiences. Survey topics include the history of virtual reality technology, computer graphics and 3D modeling, human perception and psychology, and principles of human-computer interaction and user interface design. Is intended for individuals with backgrounds in Computer Science, Engineering, Art, Architecture, or Design.

ART 736

Graduate level study in advanced graphics media. Emphasis on development of personal concepts.

ART 463

This course examines the theory and practice of visual representation of information. Students will learn to create effective and illuminating graphical displays of data based on four basic formulations -- location, time, category, hierarchy, and index.

COMPSCI 565

Introduction to topics such as perception, cognition, communication, design, implementation, applications, tools, and evaluation. Provides a broad survey of the field and covers fundamental concepts, theory, and tools in data visualization with opportunities for hands-on activities. Gain real-world experience in designing and evaluating visualizations.
