Why do we need computer graphics?
 Need of computer graphics
• Fundamentally, it’s equipping the computer with a dynamic
display - whether this is CRT, LED, E-Ink or some other future
display type, it doesn’t matter. What matters is the display is
dynamic: it changes over time.
 Importance of Dynamic Display
• The contents of memory changes over time:
• A document undergoes many revisions
• Machines respond to events by changing states again and again
 Objective
• To Provide the best ways to make humans and computers
interact in a logic and efficient way.
 Motivation
• Computer graphics has also expanded the boundaries of art and
entertainment.
• Movies such as Jurassiac Park make extensive use of computer
graphics to create images that test the bounds of imagination.
• Virtual reality, a synthetic reality that exists only inside a computer.
• Flight simulators are used to train pilot for extreme conditions.
Surgical simulators are used to train novice surgeons without
endangering patients.
• In engineering applications (e.g. automotive and aeorspace), the
ability to quickly visualize newly designed shapes
