Fu Courses Applying Color Theory to Digital Media and Visualization Room 408B Details
Applying Color Theory to Digital Media and Visualization
This course reviews the visual impact of specific color combinations and provides practical suggestions on digital color mixing for visualization.
The course begins by describing the red, green, Bbue (RGB) color model of color computer monitors (additive color) and the cyan, magenta, yellow and key black (CMYK) color model of printers and other output devices (subtractive color) and how to move between these two color models and other color models. Then it reviews color gamut, explaining that a color gamut and color model combine to define a color space, describes types of color systems such as the Munsell color system and the Pantone color-matching system, and introduces the color wheel and how to work with it to create digital media and visualizations.
Other topics include: digital color application illustrated by digital media and visualization examples inspired by artistic movements such as Pointillism, Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, and Color Field Painting; concepts introduced by Johannes Itten for successful color combinations and Josef Albers for understanding the interaction of color; and how color theories and tools are applied actual visualization projects.
The course concludes with a hands-on workshop session where attendees can work with online color scheme tools to build visualization color maps followed by a review of additional reading on applying color theory.

Fu Courses Delivering Creative Feedback: A Workshop on Critique Room 406AB Details
Delivering Creative Feedback: A Workshop on Critique
Delivering useful, honest and effective feedback to creatives is one of the biggest daily challenges faced by producers, supervisors, teachers, etc. When critiques “feel” subjective, feedback loops can have negative effects on morale and production, regardless of the validity of the criticism.
Art and design students learn and practice critique every day during, but after they embark on their careers those skills are quickly forgotten. For professionals in technical and scientific fields, where solutions and hypotheses can be proven right or incorrect, giving feedback on subjective matters (where all answers are shades of grey) or providing constructive criticism face to face can be very challenging.
Whether you are dusting off old skills or learning critique techniques for the first time, this hands-on workshop provides a simple, effective framework for delivering actionable criticism to your team everyday, regardless of environment. The course shows attendees how to establish a structure for providing critique that works in creative, technical, and academic environments, and then focuses on some specific techniques for delivering feedback.
Topics include: “client” expectations, defining expectations, problem definition, and constraints in creative briefs that serve as the backbone for the project or assignment; methods for delivering feedback against the brief; and the importance of building and sustaining environments that sustain trust and foster open and direct feedback. Actual critique methods are practiced in small groups during the course.

Fu Courses Introduction to Modern OpenGL Room 406AB Details
Introduction to Modern OpenGL
OpenGL is the most widely available library for creating interactive computer graphics applications across all of the major computer operating systems. Its applications range from creating systems for scientific visualization to computer-aided design, interactive gaming, and entertainment, and with each new version, its capabilities reveal the most up-to-date features of modern graphics hardware. This course provides an accelerated introduction to programming OpenGL, emphasizing current methods for using the library. While there have been numerous courses on OpenGL in the past, the recent sequence of revisions to the API, culminating in OpenGL version 4.2, provide a wealth of new functionality and features for creation of ever-richer content.
In recent years, OpenGL has undergone numerous updates that have fundamentally changed how programmers interact with the application programming interface (API) and the skills required for being an effective OpenGL programmer. The most notable of those changes are the introduction of shader-based rendering, which has expanded to subsume almost all functionality in OpenGL, and the depracation of immediate-mode functions. Course attendees are introduced to each of the shader stages in OpenGL version 4.2, along with methods for specifying data to be used in rendering with OpenGL.
The course begins with an overview of the complete OpenGL pipeline, introducing all the latest shader stages. Then it focuses on the shader-based pipeline, which requires an application to provide both a vertex shader and a fragment shader. It also includes an summary of key graphics concepts: the synthetic-camera model, transformations, viewing, and lighting.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy of Mathematical Tools for Shape Analysis
A practical guide for researchers who are exploring the new frontiers of 3D shape analysis and managing the complex mathematical tools that most methods rely on. Many research solutions come from advances in pure and applied mathematics, as well as from re-reading classical mathematical theories. Managing these math tools is critical to understanding and solving current problems in 3D shape analysis. This course is designed to help mathematicians and scientists communicate in a world where boundaries between disciplines are (fortunately) blurred, so they can quickly find the right mathematical tools for a bright intuitive idea and strike a balance between theoretical rigor and computationally feasible solutions.
The course presents basic concepts in differential geometry and proceeds to advanced topics in algebraic topology, always keeping an eye on their computational counterparts. It includes examples of applications to shape correspondence, symmetry detection, and shape retrieval that show how these mathematical concepts can be translated into practical solutions.
