Computer graphics can be a powerful tool for supporting visual problem solving, and interactivity plays a central role in harnessing the users’ creativity. This course will introduce various interactive tools developed in computer graphics research field with their design rationales and algorithms. Examples include enhancements to graphical user interfaces, authoring tools for 2D drawings and 3D animations, and interactive computer–aided design systems. Rich live demonstrations and course assignments will give you insights and skills to design and implement such tools for your own problems. The University of Tokyo was established in 1877 as the first national university in Japan. As a leading research university, UTokyo offers courses in essentially all academic disciplines at both undergraduate and graduate levels and conducts research across the full spectrum of academic activity.

A pesar de que parece ser un curso muy simple , esta muy bien hecho , hay mucho material de lectura.Y requiere un gran tiempo … pero creo que toma un tema que cada vez es mas relevante.

I will pay attention to this course and the instructor is awesome because ii was my wish to teach in University of Tokyo and i am now with this platform.Thank you so much.

This course somehow made its way to my top priorities for the day. Also, this is not just a course –– it’s like a collection of life works from Igarashi–sensei. Every lesson is a published paper, something that I aspire to do as I pursue further studies.

Absolute genial curse, really interesting for adquire new conceps and probably new ideas from this course… The teacher is really kindly and explain the things very very good, very friendly and easy to learn… Another important point is the data the techer leave at finish of each class, very interesting papers for read and learn… I liked a lot and I hope this techer and University will do another training similar to this… Thanks to all team for this impressive and interesting training… Thanks.

The lectures were good but when it came to quizzes and assignments, we do not know what to do? The questions were very complicated and not stated in the Lectures
Nikolaj L –
The algorithms presented in this course are interesting. However, the quizzes contain some questions that have no apparent relation to the content of the lectures, and some questions about details of the presented algorithms which are explained in neither the lectures, nor in the papers from which the lectures are derived. Also, most of the sample implementations will not run on a modern computer. They only work on Windows with Java 6 installed.

So far, this course is the hardest one I’ve took in Coursera, you definitely need some prerequisites to feel comfortable. Every lecture includes several papers. The course info says you only have to spend 1–3 hours per week. That is IMPOSSIBLE for 90%+ students.(Glad this course is self–paced)

There is lack of understanding how you actually build shown systems and software was presented in lectures if we deal with actual code.. but I gave 5 stars for creative and useful content provide the direction to go father in computer graphics field. I strongly recommend this course to students who starts developing digital content or/and programmers who want inspiration for their own projects. If there is a specialization on the topic, but with deep view on actual code samples, I would have bought one.

First of all, the course itself being from Japan is more than enough to prove it’s awesomeness. That aside, the course is great and it teaches you better ways of solving certain CG problems and also it helps you think out of the box for other CG problems. My suggestion before taking this course: Advanced math Calculus Linear algebra Beginner/Intermediate Physics Advanced programming (c, c++, java) Experience Computer Graphics Experience There might be chances that you’d learn them all on the way as well, but it’ll probably be pretty hard for you.

I really love this course! The works are funny and enlightening, and the contents are not difficult at all. The most important is, Mr.Igarashi is handsome!
Dachi D –
Interesting course. But here is the issue, in mini–exams there are very hard questions. I’m passing them anyway but there must not be question those are not described in videos and in original papers. Of course there must be guessing questions too but not too much.
Raja K –
Its really good but little tough! :p
Paula N –
Concise videos with a light workload which is compatible with a full–time job. Conveys only the concepts as a baseline, but provides links to papers for deeper learning on your own time and interest. The quizzes vary widely in difficulty, depending primarily on how much linear algebra or physics knowledge the questions happen to require (and, I suppose, how much linear algebra/physics the student happens to recall).

This course is a great introduction into all of the possibilities available within Interactive Computer Graphics. This course is not meant to make you an expert in any given field, but rather makes you aware of many of the applications out there and the basics of how they work. I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures, as they showed how these systems work in real time. Many of the questions on the tests were impossible to answer if all you know on the subject is what is presented in the videos, especially when it pertains to computer programming. I believe that it would be extremely beneficial for the students of this course if there were optional videos available dedicated to the computer programming aspects, or at least have a couple of pdf documents that go into these topics in more detail.
Martynov M –
Lecturer tells just nothing. All you need to do, is reed scientific articles. 1 or more for each question in each quize. I would like to hear something, that will help me to solve the quiz from lecturer.
Angelita G –
I like the applications and tools presented in the lecture. However, I hardly don‘t understand how the lecture is related to the graded quiz. It is so difficult to connect the lecture to written exams because the quiz was not even demonstrated during the lecture but only mentioned and displayed. Some answers I thought and looking for were not indicated in the choices, though I guess I am demanded to read the whole textbook in order to find the answer, so I wonder if the video lecture is just an introduction or an advertisement to showcase their researches and applications developed. Also, I was not informed that a rich knowledge in coding and programming is needed and not only a basic mathematical skills. This may not be ideal for a basic computer programming, yet i appreciate it. Thus, i get disheartened and disappointed in my first week class because of lapses I encountered, I am not sure if I am determined to continue until its last week.

Fantastic course! Thank you!

The lectures are very quick and does not offer examples to work on, then on the graded quiz they use complex questions about material that was barely viewed. The community seems to be as confused as myself, they have asked for help and help never arrived. I had high hopes for this course but it was nothing to what I thought it would be.

Best course
Student –
Very good overview of topics. Videos and demos make the general ideas very quick to understand. Fortunately, the course also does not shy away for describing some of the underlying algorithms and methods.

hard?
Kathawach –
Very nice course to open my mind for howto Human–Computer Interaction. So amazing.
Zimu Y –
This course helps you get an overview of interactive computer graphics, and it also provides you papers if you’d like to dive into the detail. The knowledge basis for this course is just pseudocode reading, classic mechanics & linear algebra. So it doesn’t require too much preparing. If you are interested in computer graphic, you should have a try.
SANKALP D –
Quizzes were very difficult and very innovative. A very good opportunity for those who like research work. An initiative for those who are new in the field of research. It will definitely motivate you towards for research oriented projects for better outcomes.
Apan T –
One of the most intimidating yet satisfying and practical courses on the platform. This course while seems to be talking about graphics will lead you to problems which are applicable to real world through simulation, different work environments, etc., that will expand your possibilities to use computers.
Anupama K I –
It was useful to understand the basic for my research work
Emine A S –
It’s a very nice course however the knowledge we learn is very technical and not very practical. What I mean is, we do not really have the opportunity of actually applying what we learned in the course. Demo, ii course desu, hontou ni arigatou
Zhaoqi Z –
Very good. Learnt a lot of algorithms of computer designment,
