Feedback on 2nd Cave-Programming Workshop:
I would like to express my appreciation to the speakers and the arranging
team of the 2nd Cave-Programming Workshop, Oct. 2-4, 2002.
I am an assistant professor in mechanical engineering. My research field is
analysis and (real time)simulation of mechanical systems (vehicles,
machines, mechanisms, etc.). My motivation for participating in this
workshop is that I would like to create my simulations in a graphic
environment instead of just creating graphical interface files as my output.
I also need tools to time my dynamic integrations to be sure my simulations
actually run in real time.
Before the workshop, I was a little concerned, if I could benefit from this
class with my limited graphics programming skills. I did, however,
experience alot of help and advice from lecturers, the workshop team and
classmates, which has made it possible for me to proceed on my own. One of
the lecturers and I even initiated plans for future collaborative work.
The arrangement itself (lecturing subjects, timing, meals, etc.) was at a
very high quality level, and gave a very good opportunity to socialize and
make contacts with people in the field. The VR Media staff even made a tour
of the graphics facilities - arranged on the spot - due to requests from the
participants. That was very impressive.
My only comment is the time available for the workshops, which was already
discussed at the closing meeting. The time was a little to short, since the
excercises involved alot of new areas (at least to me).
Thank you very much for a well arranged workshop.
A very satisfied participant.
