Aim
The purpose of the course is to that the students shall comprehend the foundations about three-dimensional computer graphics on mobile devices. Furthermore, the student shall understand how graphics algorithms for hardware work, and the student shall be able to apply this in practice.

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to describe and analyze graphics architectures with respect the memory bandwidth, and also be able to set up hypotheses about what a new algorithm can give in terms of improvements.

• be able to describe graphics architectures.

• have an insight into the limitations of the mobile APIs for three-dimensional graphics on a basic level.

Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to implement three-dimensional applications on mobile devices with existing APIs.

• be able to design, develop, and implement (in software) algorithms which are targeted for graphics hardware,

• be able to evaluate and be able to value graphics architectures, i.e., study theoretical issues.

• be able to orally describe the assignments.

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to find information about algorithms, and critically value these, and thereafter implement, and test whether a good result can be obtained.
