- Course objectives
- The students should get the knowledge of the graphics devices and the special graphics architectures for rendering and global illumination. Based on the study of recent research papers, the seminar will concentrate on the algorithms which are imlemented in the inner layers of graphics architectures. The possibilities of parallel solutions and other theoretical and practical issues will be discusses.
- Syllabus
- Architecture of graphics controller. Components of graphics subsystem. Implemenation of fundamental algorithms on the lowest levels of graphics architectures. Parallel solution and effective combination with textures and antialiasing. Specialized parallel rendering architectures. Architectures for parallel and distributed global illumination. Devices for multisensual human-computer interaction. Haptic force feedback, stereographics, 3DOF and 6DOF tracking, data gloves. Workbenches, caves for immersive virtual reality. Students study research papers, prepare presenations and discuss specifific issues in context.

- Assessment methods (in Czech)
- Seminární výuka - kombinace výkladu přednášejícího s přednáškami připravenými studenty, diskuse zvolených témat. Hodnocení je stanoveno na základě aktivní účasti a odvedené práce (příprava a přednesení prezentací). Seminar, combination of lectures's and students presentations, the discussion of the selected topics. Assesment based on active participation in discussions and on the quality of presentations.
- Language of instruction
- Czech
- Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
- The course is taught once in two years.
