>Spring 2007 Course: COMS W4172 (3D UI Design), TR 2:40-3:55pm
>
>3D user interfaces are already essential to fields as diverse as
>scientific visualization and video games, and will become even more
>important as major consumer user interfaces incorporate 3D
>technology. COMS W4172 is an introduction to this exciting
>way of interacting with computers, with an emphasis on methods for
>designing and developing effective 3D user interfaces.
>
>Key points:
>
>     Assignments will involve 3D user interface design, evaluation and
>     development.
>
>     Programming will be done using infrastructure we'll provide,
>     based on a commercial 3D game engine and a vision-based 3D
>     tracking system.
>
>     Team final projects will be joint with students in a Graduate School
>     of Architecture course taught by P. Morozov and S. White. The
>     projects will address "situated visualization" of information
>     through augmented reality --- integrating virtual data and
>     functionality with the real world.
>
>     Prereqs are one of
>           COMS W4160 (Computer Graphics)
>           OR
>           COMS W4170 (User Interface Design)
>           OR
>           permission of the instructor (contact me!)
