Learning with interactive computer graphics in the undergraduate neuroscience classroom

Interactive Learning of Computer Graphics Algorithms

Nowadays, computer graphics course is usually taught with traditional teaching methodologies and tools, which has its own limitations. In this paper, we present an online interactive computer graphics tutorial. The practical part of the tutorial consists of example programs on the computer in which the users can test the theoretical concepts and generate their own experiences. The integration o...

HoloGraphics : combining holograms with interactive computer graphics

Just like computer graphics, holograms are being applied as tools to solve individual research, engineering, and presentation problems within several domains. Up until today, however, these tools have been applied separately. The overall goal of our project is to combine both technologies to create a powerful tool for science, industry and education. We are currently investigating the possibili...

Combining Holograms with Interactive Computer Graphics

Integrating Community Outreach into the Undergraduate Neuroscience Classroom

While both federal agencies and professional associations emphasize the importance of neuroscience outreach, this goal seldom reaches the undergraduate neuroscience classroom. However, incorporating outreach into undergraduate neuroscience classes is an efficient means to reach not only future scientists, but also the future practitioners (K-12 teachers, social service workers, etc.) with whom ...

Computer Vision for Interactive Computer Graphics

Computers looking through a camera at people is a potentially powerful technique to facilitate human-computer interaction. The computer can interpret the userś movements, gestures, and glances. Fundamental visual algorithms include tracking, shape recognition, and motion analysis. We describe several vision algorithms for interactive graphics, and present various vision controlled graphics appl...
