About This Course

In the second deep dive for coding, students are challenged to understand digital image processing and working with interactive devices, such as cameras or microphones. Discussed topics will be coordinate systems, color modes, the history of human-computer interfaces, vector vs. pixel graphics, computer vision, etc. To deepen the understanding, the students will also look into the necessary maths, e.g. matrix manipulations, etc. The basics of Object-Oriented Programming as discussed in Coding Camp 1 will be recapitulated and deepened.

To get started quickly and be able to work on interesting projects soon, we will use tools and libraries, such as Processing and OpenFrameworks. The programming languages of these tools are a subset of the Java programming language and C++. Both will be introduced in the module, always with a hands-on focus.

In this second coding camp, students expand on the knowledge from the first coding camp: Knowledge and experiences of the first Coding Camp, such as project management and software development principles can be reiterated and students can experience further methods.

Learning Objectives

  • Students have developed an interactive application using input devices different from a mouse or keyboard, e.g. camera, microphone, etc.
  • Students can reflect on the advantages or disadvantages of different software development projects.
