Module Overview:
To use computer Graphic techniques to develop data and information visualisation: To introduce the theoretical concepts of graphical display, both 2D and 3D, leading to the practical development of visualisation solutions using relevant tools and techniques.Massive amounts of data are being generated by modern digital systems; there is a demand for rapid and effective analysis and communication of the relevant data. This module covers topics related to interpreting and displaying data for visualisation and techniques to present various types of data in appropriate formats.
