On June 11th-12th, 2018, Exhibition of Graduation Projects by graduation students majoring in digital media technology in ZJU’s College of Computer Science and Technology was successfully held in front of Yuan Space, Yueya Tower, in the Zijingang Campus.
In the opening ceremony, Mr. CHEN Wei, Vice Dean in charge of undergraduate education in the College, expressed his full approval and backup on the exhibition. He reviewed the history of digital media technology major, looked into its prospects and encouraged students of Grade 2014 to march ahead and notch up better professional achievements in days to come.

FANG Yutong and MEI Zhefan, two class leaders, respectively uttered out their experience on holding of the exhibition and expressed gratitude to the contribution of all students.
The topic for the exhibition is ‘Yan’ (heritage) that represents passing down through generations and the insight of never letting go the initial mind so that digital media technology would bear infinite possibilities. They started to access the world of digital media as a freshman, learned about programming and graphics during the sophomore and junior years and grew into a pursuer of innovative media with ‘both skills and techniques’. The four-year study experience helped widen their technological horizon and their inclusive artistic sentiment.
On the first day of the exhibition, CHEN Wei, SHAN Juehui and PENG Ren learned about graduation works by some students. The three teachers joined students in in-depth discussion of relevant technologies involved in their graduation design, expression of visual effects of animation scripts and playability of the games. They also showed great appreciation to students’ works.
At the entrance to the exhibition hall, students demonstrated their interactive games on their booth. The innovative RPG games, the challenging action games and AR games with unique techniques all attracted large amount of students on the spot. Animation works played back on the big screen in the center also demonstrated students’ months-long toiling work and innovation. The screen display revealed students’ innovativeness and their ruminations on the modern society, including 3-D animation of cultural conservation of XUAN Chenyang and 2-D animation exposing online violence.
Research achievements and programming works of students of Class 2014 majoring in digital media were on exhibition inside the exhibition hall. Students in computer graphics demonstrated research projects of transformation of 3-D model, fabrics of clothing, bespoken products and so forth. Students who dig into deep learning also demonstrated their applications for training based on neutral networks. Students in voice frequency, computer vision, computer network and so forth also showed their works, and exhibited their specialties in technologies.
In the sizzling hot days of June, all students from Class 2014 Digital Media program demonstrated to the university achievements resulted from their past four-year study. The word ‘Yan’ also signifies rivers that are aggregated will eventually rush towards the ocean. Similarly, students majoring in digital media would leave the campus and start a new journey to alter the world. Wish they will carry the beautiful memory, heritage and aspiration.
