The course explores the theory and application software needed for deploying native3D Graphics applications on mobile platforms. The topics covered are: Introduction to Computer Graphics; Graphics Display Devices ; Drawing Based Graphics Primitives ; Transformation of Object - 3D Affine Transformation; Three-Dimensional Viewing ; Tools for Raster Displays ; Scan conversion Algorithms ; Defining and Filling Regions of Pixel; Filling Polygon; Defined Regions; Aliasing: Anti-aliasing Techniques; Creating more Shades and Colors Ray Tracing Algorithm; Virtual camera model optics; Animation; 3D content (file format) is also introduced. It also aims to provide an in depth, practical coverage of two standard application programming interfaces used for mobile 3D graphics, viz., OpenGL-ES-2.0, J2ME-M3G, 3D Studio Max, Ac3d,and Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML).
Intended learning outcomes

That the student with the formation of an integrated program for the formation of an animated game, using all the previously explained in the course of shapes, images and vectors.
mental skills
That the student be able to draw geometric shapes and form an integrated drawing.
That the student use the movements and implement them on the shapes using a button or directly when pressing on the shape.
That the student be able to insert an image, vector, and geometric shape of his design and work on implementing them as animated images.
The student should be able to draw a three-dimensional shape, insert pictures on it, and perform all movements.
The student reaches the formation of an integrated game using three-dimensional shapes.
Practical & professional skills
To lead the student to write a program to draw geometric shapes.
The student can use gestures using a button or just click on the shape.
The student should include pictures from a file and perform movements to show the viewer that they are moving.
