Abstract:
Saitama Institute of Technology has focused intensive effort in information technology education in recent years. Our computational resources are Origin, ONYX300 with CAVE and PCs placed in lecture and exercise rooms. These resources are used for education that includes UNIX, visualization, CG and computational methods and simulations. AVS visualization software and three dimensional CG tools have been used in the exercises and project studies. The results have been shown in some CG competitions and newly developed lectures. The content developed in the fields of scientific visualization and CG can be shared with other universities which have CAVE or similar VR capabilities. Cooperative study has been carried out in these fields with counterpart universities both inside and outside of Japan. We have also participated in e-Learning efforts in order to enhance our educational activities.
