Abstract

Many concepts and algorithms in Computer Graphics benefit from being visualised when trying to understand them. Virtual Ray Tracer (VRT) was developed to educate students on concepts related to ray tracing. The application explains concepts using textual explanation and visualisation techniques on objects. Different levels are created to elaborate on different topics. Further development in VRT intends to extend the application with new topics. This (bachelor) project aims to extend VRT with concepts related to texturing. This project focuses on raster textures and is done in close collaboration with Tom Couperus, whose concurrent bachelor project focuses on procedural textures. Four additional levels were created to cover 3D objects, texture mapping, texture sampling and procedural textures. A user study with twelve participants was conducted to evaluate the educational usefulness and the overall user experience of the new additions. The results indicate that users gained knowledge of texturing and had good experiences using VRT.
