Development of Teaching Material on CG using JavaScript

Abstract

CG-ARTS have conducted e-learning as ``CG Technics Master Course" for examinees of CG examination since 2002. The teaching material was developed by programming language Java; however, the environment of Java has changed and it has become impossible to operate on the recent browsers. We report that UEI Research is developing the teaching material that includes the same contents with JavaScript so that learners can study CG on web browsers. Because this material is operated with popular mobile terminals, learners can experience CG basic techniques not only in classrooms, but also by self-study. The content consists of more than 50 CG basic techniques such as Z buffer method, ray tracing method, and image processing. The goal is to educate learners by this system and to disseminate knowledge of CG widely.
