Visual analysis is a teaching technique developed for computer science instructors that helps impart this ability. Through the use of a few visual cues, students learn to visually identify surface algorithms, shaders and lighting techniques. An interactive software package called TERA (Tool for Exploring Rendering Algorithms) provides nearly a million image combinations that students can use to practice their visual identification skills.Attribution 4.0 International Licensealgorithm visualisation, computcr graphics educationalgorithm visualisationcomputcr graphics education10.2312/pt.1999157379-846 pages
