DH2640 Graphics and Interaction Programming 9.0 credits

Computer Graphics: History, signal processing, transformations, image

processing, modelling, animation, visualization, image synthesis, real-time graphics in computer games. Applications and tools: OpenGL, Photoshop and Maya.

Interaction: Principles of human-computer interaction, prototyping tools and integrated development environments for designing interaction with text, graphics, images, sound, video and animation. Applications and tools: Java/Swing and Flash.

The goals of the course are to give the students

• knowledge of computer graphics and interaction techniques,
• an understanding that the qualifications and limitations of the humans should influence the design of interactive systems,
• give experience of programming tools for the design of graphical and interactive applications,

so that they will

• have a good notion of the possibilities and limitations concerning the design and use of computer graphics and modern interaction techniques for different media.

2D1320/DD1320 Applied Computer Science or 2D1345 Introduction to Computer Science or corresponding.

Java and some C will be used, we offer complementary instructions for those who are not used to Java and C.

To be announced at the web page for the course at least 4 weeks before course start. Previous year: Angel: Interactive Computer Graphics, Addison-Wesley, and material produced at the department.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Exercises, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 4.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
