Course content
This course will give a broad introduction to the topics of simulation and visualization. In addition, the course provides an introduction to distributed programming and distributed simulation systems.
Within simulation, topics will be covered such as:
• What is simulation?
• What types of simulators exist, and what are their purposes?
• What is a good software architecture for simulation systems?
• How to build a distributed simulation system with the use of established international standards like HLA (High Level Architecture)
• What is a model?
• How to achieve dynamic behavior in a simulator.
Within visualization, the course will typically cover:
• Different methods/technologies for visualization, such as projectors, screens (LCDs) and VR glasses/helmets.
• How do we achieve immersiveness?
• Pros and cons of 3D (stereo) used in visualization for simulators
• How to make a real-time rendered image with multiple projectors (warping and edge blending)
• What are the differences between 3D drawings/models made for industrial manufacturing and 3D models made for animation and real-time rendering?
There will also be a visit to local companies dealing with simulation and visualization.
The theme of the course might vary somewhat from year to year.
