3D Graphics in Android: Sensors and VR

Imperial College London develops Android graphics through animation, touch control, lighting and textured objects. The later modules assemble a virtual environment and a VR application. This is a focused technical continuation for developers who already understand Android and OpenGL, connecting graphical behavior with an interactive application rather than introducing mobile programming from scratch.

What you will learn

• Connect animation and touch input with a graphics scene.
• Use lighting, textures and multiple objects in an application.
• Develop a virtual environment and a contained VR app.

Who this suits

Intermediate Android application-development and OpenGL knowledge are required. Check the project setup and hardware expectations before beginning the graphics work.

Before you enroll

Android tooling, device behavior and graphics examples can differ from recorded versions. Compare the course setup with current documentation and distinguish the graphics principles from a particular IDE or device interface.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for included assessments, certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Access conditions can change; review the current offer before paying.

Put it into practice

Create a small scene with one interactive object and explain the transformation, lighting and input behavior. Test a changed device orientation or touch sequence and record where the scene behaves differently from your expectation.
