Courses

The course provides basic knowledge for analyzing, designing, and creating complex data visualizations. The student will learn to understand the data at his disposal and to find the most effective graphical representation, choosing between known visualization systems or designing new ones.

Knowledge and understanding: Know the main algorithms used to solve problems modeled using simple tools of Euclidean geometry in the plane and space Know what they are and how to use the data structures for the description of geometric entities in the plane and space Understand the classification of the paradigms that guide the design of algorithms (geometric and not) by distinguishing the various types of algorithms used Applying knowledge and understanding: Being able to make an accurate empirical evaluation of computational complexity (both in time and in space) of the algorithms studied Design and implement an interactive application based on one of the algorithms seen during the course Use, in an advanced way, software development tools based on the C++ language Making judgments Develop independently, concerning the design and implementation choices, the final project from the specifications provided Communication skills Understand, summarize and expose a scientific text, written in English, treating in-depth one of the topics covered during the course Learning skills

Knowledge and understanding: Understanding what programming a computer means Know the taxonomy of the programming languages and understand why they are necessary for interacting with a computer Know which are the tools used for programming Understand which are the effects of the statements regarding syntax and semantics Applying knowledge and understanding: Solve exercises on the courses’ subjects Read C programs of small complexity and understand why they are as such based on the code itself and the associated comments Design small C applications starting from the guidelines or building over existing code Making judgments Develop independently, for the design and implementation choices, the final project from the specifications provided Communication skills Being able to present the project at the end of the course by discussing the design and implementation choices Learning skills Being able to identify, within the teacher’s handouts and the textbook, the topics covered during the course even during the tests Additional Information Teachers: Riccardo Scateni, Fabio Sorrentino

Video Game Desing (VGD) Knowledge and understanding: Learn what is geometry processing and how it can be seen as an extension of the classical signal processing Understand how 3D shapes are stored in a computer for efficient visualization, analysis and processing Know the geometric foundations of computer graphics Know what are the basic problems in signal/mesh processing and what are their principal applications to solve real world problems involving 3D data Ability to apply knowledge and understanding:

The course provides the student with the basic knowledge for the creating, understanding and designing web applications.

The course provides an introduction to the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) field and to the main aspects involved in the human interaction with different devices.

Best projects archive The course provides the knowledge for understanding and exploiting different technologies for developing user interfaces, starting from the simplest ones (form-based on a single device) to the more complex ones (multi-device, augmented and virtual reality etc.
