😱 Do you scream at your screen when you’re trying to overcome that super challenging game level, and THE GAME LAGS?! 🔥

Game developers often have to sacrifice visual quality to avoid this sorta lag from happening when you play.

You’ll be pleased to hear, however, that #NUSComputing Senior Lecturer Anand Bhojan shares your pain—so he’s developed a new hybrid rending system that is able to produce high quality visuals, while minimising lag. 😉

Seems like some of our students aren’t just savvy programmers – they’re also musicians!

Subhodip Mandal, a Year 3 #NUSComputing student, recently released a new song titled “Beyond a Doubt”. Subhodip also sang at an online welcome session for freshmen in August this year, and we hear that he was a hit with students! 🎶

Subhodip was also involved in building a Virtual Instrument Percussion System (known as "VIPS"), where smartwatches were used to detect hand gestures through an app and produce corresponding drumbeat sounds over an audio player. 🥁
