Computer graphics 1
	Undergraduate Course, 78 students, 4 credits
	The primary goal of this course is to introduce many important data structures and algorithms that are useful for presenting data visually on a computer: hardware devices (in- and output devices), overview, rasterization, clipping, filling algorithm, transformations, 3d pipeline, modeling, shading, curves, surfaces, texture mapping, OpenGL, shading, lighting.
Computer graphics 2
	Undergraduate Course, 78 students, 4 credits
	Based on computer graphics I, this course focuses on advanced computer graphics topics: advanced texture mapping, real-time algorithms, collision detection, shadows, reflections, natural phenomena, particle systems, occlusion culling, culling, advanced data structures, mixed reality devices, mixed reality applications.
Shader Programming
	Undergraduate Course, 36 students, 3 credits
	This elective course gives an overview of advanced CG technologies using nVIDIA’s shader language Cg: Overview of GPU programming, GPU-model, Cg, Cg’s pipeline, Cg-language, Cg+OpenGL, special effects using OpenGL and Cg.
Interactive Environments
	Graduate Course, 18 students, 4 credits
	This course focuses on mixed reality installations (from the first concepts through hardware decisions to the realization). Moreover, it presents the production process with a special emphasis on usability issues.
