The course will address the development of rich media applications using current web-based media technology, with a
special focus on animation and interactive visualization(s) of dynamic complex systems.
The platform used will be Adobe flex / as3.
During the course students are expected to learn the skills to create moderately complex media applications.
NM2 is meant to be an intermediate course, required for both ST and NM students. The course will enable students to
apply their knowledge of dynamic systems and mathematics in a (media-rich) context, as a preparation for more advanced
projects in virtual enbironments and game development. In relation to DE-courses, the focus of NM-courses
Is primarily on technical issues and programmatic authoring.
Physics based animation is an effective means of visualizing complex information structurs. Effective information
visualization morever depends on intuitive ways of interaction to support exploration. Interactive information visualization is
increasingly being used in web 2.0 applications, for giving access to huge amounts of user-contributed data such as blogs
and video.
The course will be organized around lectures in which both technical and conceptual issues, related to animation and
visualization, are dealt with. The assignments will consist of a series of basic exercises and a final exercise
In which the students are required to develop a moderately complex dynamic web application.
