The primary goal of the course for each student will be to design and code a real time 3d sensor driven game that runs on a mobile device.  The course will cover topics that include sensors, signal processing, 3d graphics, transformations, lighting, and motion control.  The prerequisite for the course is ITSE 1333 Mobile Application Development.

There is no required text for the course. All of the required information can be found on the web.  There are many OpenGl ES guides on the web, some are unix based, or ios based, but they can all be helpful.  The only difference is in the initialization routines that allow OpenGl to talk to the os.

A good intro intro intro with lots of text. A good place to start if new to 3d graphics:
