Interactive Computer Graphics on Coursera is taught by Prof. Takeo Igarashi. A similar course is Interactive Computer Graphics by WebGL. I also maintain a Mendeley group here for all referenced papers: https://www.mendeley.com/groups/7620091/interactive-computer-graphics/

It is difficult to point to a distant object.
Use multiple cursors on the screen.
Multiple pointers point to multiple objects at the same time.

Quiz 1
- d-const1 = const2 * log(speed) || speed = const1 * const2^d represents the relationship between speed and mouse displacement (d) in the revised implementation of speed-dependent automatic zooming.
2. The following pseudo-code with blanks [1] ~ [5] represents the core part of the one-dimensional scrolling function in speed-dependent automatic zooming technique. DABEC

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
function scroll(mouse_position, drag_start_position) { dx = abs(mouse_position - drag_start_position) scale = pow(s0, (dx-d0)/(d1-d0)) scale = max(s0, min(1.0, scale)) speed = v0 / scale * sign(dx) scroll_position += speed } |
3. The potential field generated by a kernel located at c is given as a function of position p: h(p)=200−|p−c|, and the two kernels are located at c1=(200,200) and c2=(400,200).
What is the shape of the area (bubble) that satisfies h>100?
4. Which of the following pseudo-codes represents the clustering and visualization algorithms of Bubble Clusters correctly?
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
clusters = clustering(icons) foreach (cluster in clusters) { potential_field = calculate_potential_field(cluster) contour_lines.add(marching_squares(potential_field)) } |
5. Consider a 1D desktop with three icons that occupy regions [100, 120], [200,220], and [300,320], where the mouse cursors are located at x=90, x=180, and x=270, respectively.
Suppose that the mouse moves the cursors by +1 pixel per second (if they are not blocked). How long does it take for a cursor to enter the third icon?
30s
6. The following pseudo-code represents the process to move cursors according to the user input (movement of mouse) in Ninja Cursors.
Answer the correct combination of code fragments to fill in the blanks [1] ~ [3].
Assume that mouse movement is small and any cursor does not go out of an icon and enter another icon a once. BAC

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
queue = new Queue() function mouseMoved(mouse_movement) { foreach (cursor in all_cursors) { if (cursor.position + mouse_movement is in any icon) { if (queue.contains(cursor)) { if (queue.top() == cursor) { cursor.position += mouse_movement } } else { queue.push(cursor) } } else { if (queue.contains(cursor)) queue.delete(cursor) cursor.position += mouse_movement } } } |
7. Rotate the input strokes.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
function addInputStroke(Stroke stroke) { foreach (Point p in stroke.points) { p.x = p.x * cos(theta) - p.y * sin(theta) p.y = p.x * sin(theta) + p.y * cos(theta) } segment.addPaintedStroke(stroke) } |
8. It makes a duplicate of the input stroke and translates it.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
function addInputStroke(Stroke stroke) { Stroke stroke2 = new Stroke() foreach (Point p in stroke.points) { Point p2 = new Point(p.x + dx, p.y) stroke2.points.add(p2) } segment.addPaintedStroke(stroke) segment.addPaintedStroke(stroke2) } |
9. Suppose that we have the spectrum [100, 110, 100, 120, 110] at time t=0 and [110, 100, 110, 110, 120] at time t=1.
The pitch becomes higher between t=0 and t=1.
[120, 110, 120, 100, 110] at time t=0 and [110, 120, 100, 110, 100] at time t=1.The pitch becomes lower between t=0 and t=1.

function detectPitchChange(double[] prev, double[] current) { sum_low = 0 sum_high = 0 for (i=1; i<prev.length-1; i++) { sum_low += prev[i] * current[i-1]; sum_high += prev[i] * current[i+1]; } if (sum_low > sum_high) { return PITCH_GETS_LOWER } else if (sum_low < sum_high) { return PITCH_GETS_HIGHER } else { return PITCH_DOES_NOT_CHANGE } } |
