    Marching Cubes for Teaching GLSL Programming
    (The Eurographics Association, 2021) Ilinkin, Ivaylo; Sousa Santos, Beatriz and Domik, Gitta
    This paper shares ideas for illustrating GLSL programming based on the classic Marching Cubes algorithm. The algorithm has a number of appealing aspects: it is feasible to implement as one of the components in a computer graphics course, it motivates naturally a number of GLSL concepts and constructs, and leaves the students with a sense of accomplishment having reproduced original research. The paper suggest possible variations and extensions that could form the basis for final group projects.

    A Virtual Reality Platform for Immersive Education in Computer Graphics
    (The Eurographics Association, 2021) Hácha, Filip; Vanecek, Petr; Váša, Libor; Sousa Santos, Beatriz and Domik, Gitta
    We present a general framework for teaching 3D imagination demanding topics using commonly available hardware for virtual reality (VR). Our software allows collaborating on 3D objects, interaction and annotation in a simple and intuitive manner. Students can follow the exposition from an arbitrary, naturally chosen point of view, and they interact with the shared scene by adding annotations and using a pointing metaphore. The software allows using various VR headsets as well as opting for a traditional 3D rendering on a 2D screen. The framework has been tested in a small course on polygon mesh processing, identifying and eliminating the most serious flaws. In its current form, most of the sources of friction have been addressed and the system can be employed in a variety of teaching scenarios.
