Computers…
accept, process, transform and present information.
Computer Graphics…
involve technology to accept, process, transform and
present information in a visual form that also concerns with
producing images (or animations) using a computer.
Why Study Computer Graphics?
Visualization
– I like to see what I’m doing
– I like to show people what I’m doing
Graphics is interesting
– Involves simulation, algorithms, architecture…
Requirement
– Just ask Intel…
Entertainment
– Roll the video…
