Pipeline Simulator

Mobile graphics pipeline simulator. An educational tool for Android devices.

Description

For a university project I designed, demonstrated, and analysed an educational mobile application. Its target audience is computer science students, and it can accompany a course textbook, allowing the user to visualise an arbitrary scene as each graphics pipeline step is applied. Interactivity with the simulated scene, and animated transitions, give the user immediate visual feedback on the state of the scene, which aids understanding.
