* Visibility Determination
**: test a point for presence within a set of planes
**: normal calculations - general rotation matrix - vector and angle
** ViewFrustum
**: parameter - view * projection
**: 6 planes
**:: near and far planes
**:: left and right planes
**:: top and bottom planes
**: coding
**:: constructor
**:: ViewFrustum::contains()
** Finite Size of Objects
**: Expansion of the View Frustum
* Index Buffers
*: amount of storage needed for vertex data
* indexBuffering sample
== Week 4 - Jan 30 ==
=== This Week ===
* Meshes
*: What is a mesh?
*:: vertex list -> vertex buffer
*:: index list -> index buffer
*:: attribute list -> subset to which primitives belong
*: Stock Objects
*:: Sphere
*:: Torus
*:: Utah Teapot
*: Simple Custom Mesh COM object*:: What is a mesh?
*:: Create a Mesh
*:: DrawSubset
*::: normal is fixed (difference between viewpoint position and camera heading)
*::: up is open to change

== Week 5 - Feb 6 ==
=== This Week ===
=== To Do ===
* reorganize framework code so that vertex shader receives product of world, view, and projection matrices
** store viewProjection matrix as an instance variable in Display
* reorganize framework code to minimize duplication of heading normalization
** perform normalization of heading in Display::beginDraw()
