5. Design and Application of Object-Oriented 3D Graphics and Visualization Systems Half Day / Intermediate 3D graphics and object-oriented systems have emerged as premier technologies for creation of flexible, extensible, and intuitive software applications. This course shows you how to design your own applications to take advantage of object-oriented techniques and methods in 3D graphics and visualization. Who Should Attend Users, developers, and researchers of 3D graphics and visualization systems, or practitioners who want to use graphics and visualization in their own applications.
