Reason for selection of Topic and Domain:
Computer graphics is widespread today. Computer imagery is found on television, in newspapers, for example in weather reports, or for example in all kinds of medical investigation and surgical procedures. A well-constructed graph can present complex statistics in a form that is easier to understand and interpret. In the media "such graphs are used to illustrate papers, reports, thesis", and other presentation material.
Relevance of Domain and Topic:
Many powerful tools have been developed to visualize data. Computer generated imagery can be categorized into several different types: two dimensional (2D), three dimensional (3D), and animated graphics. As technology has improved, 3D computer graphics have become more common, but 2D computer graphics are still widely used. Computer graphics has emerged as a sub-field of computer science which studies methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Over the past decade, other specialized fields have been developed like information visualization, and scientific visualizationmore concerned with "the visualization of three dimensional phenomena (architectural, meteorological, medical, biological, etc.), where the emphasis is on realistic renderings of volumes, surfaces, illumination sources, and so forth, perhaps with a dynamic (time) component.
Brief Description of Domain:
The term computer graphics has been used in a broad sense to describe "almost everything on computers that is not text or sound". Typically, the term computer graphics refers to several different things:
the representation and manipulation of image data by a computer
the various technologies used to create and manipulate images
the sub-field of computer science which studies methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content, seestudy of computer graphics.
.Brief Description of Topic:
Visual Effects (VFX) is a blanket term term referring to any method that makes it possible to create a scene or effect that could not otherwise be produced with regular photographic techniques.
Visual effects most commonly refers to 3D computer graphicsproduced for film, games, and advertising, however miniature and real-world model building are good examples of visual effect techniques that require no digital assistance.
Visual effects is sometimes used synonymously with 'special effects,' although the latter technically includes sound recording/editing techniques in addition to visual ones.
