Bachelor-, Master-, Diploma-thesis etc.

Available

• Extend the TINKER-Simulater (Molecule optimizer) with a network server functionality
  • A server program (c++ or c#) should be created using functions from TINKER (written in Fortran)
  • Using c++/c and FORTRAN together
  • Introduction into FORTRAN
  • GFortran compiler
  • To generate a dll from the fortran source: gfortran -o test.dll -shared -mrtd -mno-cygwin -Os -fdefault-integer-8 test_f.f
  • or to generate the object file: gfortran -c -Os -fdefault-integer-8 test_f.f
  • and link it with the c++ object file to a executable: gcc -o test test_c.o test_f.o -lgfortran
  • use the dll in c#: [DllImport("test.dll")] public static extern void test_();
• Implement shaders for "Augmented Chemical Reactions" to support reflection, light, shadows and transparency.
• Implement a fingertracker to control 3D objects.
• Implement a connection to the NOVINT Falcon haptic device to control 3D objects and get feedback.
• Integration of a 3D cam to control the Position of 3D objects.
• Robust marker recognition

Finished

• Controlling 3D objects by using a multitouch sourcace with gesture recognition (Bachelor Thesis)
