Description
Advanced Computational Design
This class is meant to give an overview about general advanced programming techniques, tools and concepts as well as a deeper look at current software technologies and how to deal with them in the context of media and interface design. The structure of the class will be organised in a workshop-like manner where each participant will have to prepare a presentation of a topic of his choice related to the curriculum.
Topics
OOP recap
- Classes and inheritance
- Scopes (public / private)
- Examples & excercises
IDEs & tools
- Eclipse and Processing
- Autocompletion, Debugging
Structures & concepts
- Datatypes in detail (String, ints, floats, double, ArrayList, HashMap ...).
- Images and pixels >> exercises
- Vector concepts and agents
- Simple physics and particle systems
OpenFrameworks / oF
- C++ concepts (pointer, header files...)
- How to work with OpenFrameworks
- Examples and excercises
3D with OpenGL
- Primitives, lights, cameras in oF
- What is OpenGL?
- Concepts and terminology of 3D
- Examples in oF
Computer vison with OpenCV
- What is OpenCV?
- Concepts and terminology
- Examples in oF
- Tracking example with kinect and OpenCV
Further topics / tools
- Version control with GIT
- Regular expressions / RegEx
- Formats and protocols: XML, JSON, OSC... - Jelena Djokic
