Computer graphics is the discipline of generating images with the aid of computers. Today, computer graphics is a core technology in digital photography, film, video games, cell phone and computer displays, and many specialized applications. A great deal of specialized hardware and software has been developed, with the displays of most devices being driven by
computer graphics hardware. It is a vast and recently developed area of computer science. The phrase was coined in 1960 by computer graphics researchers Verne Hudson and William Fetter of Boeing. It is often abbreviated as CG, or typically in the context of film as
CGI.
Computer Graphics Applications
The Computer Graphics is used in numerous areas some of them are as follows:
- Graphical User Interface (GUI): The interaction of users interacts with electronic devices such as computers mobiles and other devices. This interface uses icons, menus and other visuals, graphics by which user easily interacts.
- Art: Computer Graphics provide a new way of creating designs. Now Artists and designers use illustrator, coral draw, Photoshop, adobe muse and other different types of applications for creating new designs.
- Entertainment: Computer graphics allow us to create animated movies and games. It is used to create scenes that have special effects and animations.
- Presentations: Computer graphics are used for creating charts, bar diagrams and other visuals for the presentation purpose, with this user, can easily understand the points.
- Engineering Drawings: Computer Graphics gives us the flexibility to create 3d house models, house circuits and engineering drawings, etc which is quite helpful for us.
- Education and Training: Now we can train our students with simulators, through this they can learn about the machines without physically trying them.
- Medical Imaging: MRIs, CAT scans, and other internal scans are possible because of computer graphics.
