in Spring 2017: 3D & 2D Computer Graphics Programming with OpenGL ES on Android and iOSOpenGL ES
program OpenGL ES...
OpenGL ES on Android
...either on Android...
OpenGL ES on iOS
...or on iOS
OpenGL ES is a shader-based API using the GLSL programming language to write GPU-run code.
 
B.Y.O.D. and code!
in Spring 2017, we are going to use OpenGL ES and GLSL to write and run graphics programs on the GPU of mobile devices(*): if you have a Android or iOS device (phone, tablet, etc) running a recent version of the operating system, you may test your programs on it: just Bring Your Own Device and code...
(*) bringing your own device is not required: you may complete B481 just as successfully by writing and running the same graphics programs on mobile device simulators that run on STC lab computers, or on your own computer
