Supervising Master's Program students

I am the defacto supervisor for 4 students in the Master's Program as follows:
Yuiichiro Goto, m5041110, for 2 years, F-rep HyperFun Project;    Musdi Bin Haji Shanat, m5042102,  for 1.5 years, Digital Preservation of Cultural Heritage in official collaboration with the Fukushima Prefectural Museum;    So Yamaoka, m5051135,  for 1 year, Realtime Music Driven Animation in collaboration with Prof. William Martens;  Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, m5051138, for 1 year, Linux Network / Cluster Computing.  The students with their research equipment reside in my lab, and their research projects are part of my own research and were designed under my direct guidance.
 
 

Supervising Students Cooperative Class Projects (SCCP)

1) SCCP-023 Aizu History Project: Game Environments :   Using ray tracing animations in POVRay and real time game programming in Quake II to present history from the Aizu region. Tools involved are object oriented Perl, C++, C and ProsgreSQL.  (2 students)

2) SCCP-022 3D Objects and Animation with HyperFun :   How to create 3D objects and animations the easy, natural way with function representation on free and open software.
       (10 students)
