Modelling and Visualisation

This course covers a number of aspects of visualisation, including a brief historical background to Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Environments (VE) as well as human perception (visual, spatial, emotive).

Real-time Modelling is the main theme of the course, with topics such as
  • scene complexity
  • scene optimisation
  • realism (lighting and texturing)
  • depth complexity
being covered.

VRML is also covered, so that models created can be viewed on a PC. For completeness, the course also includes an overview of different platforms, hardware and software associated with modelling and visualisation.

The practical work will be done using TUCAN V7.0 , a 3D scene modelling software package. The resulting scenes will be viewed in the Virtual Reality centre (ViSAC).

There are a number of different application areas where such modelling and visualisation tools are extremely useful, and these will also be covered during the course.

There will be 2 lectures and one practical laboratory session per week. Several of the lectures will be delivered by guest lecturers from industry.
