Special rendering effects. Students read selected papers, present topics at seminar and discuss them in the wider context.
Literature
  • ACM Digital Library: SIGGRAPH, Virtual Reality Conf.Proc., EUROGRAPHICS
Teaching methods
The seminar teaching is based on student prepared presentations only. Teachers propose some main topics of current research at the beginning of semester and they assign the selected papers. Students prepare and lecture the presentations. The goal is to approach the state of the art and estimate the unsolved areas. Students are able to affect the seminar form by theme selection.
Assessment methods
Colloquium is based on the quality of students presentations and on the active participation in discussions.
