Question 9

Ernesto is interested in playing augmented reality games.Which of the following devices should he use for game play?

Accepted Answer

Augmented reality games are designed to overlay digital elements onto the real world, and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are the most widely-used platform for these kinds of games. They are portable, have built-in cameras and gyroscopes, and have become powerful enough in recent years to handle the demands of AR games.

Question 10

What do engineers use to create highly detailed and technically accurate drawings?

Accepted Answer

Engineers use CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to create highly detailed and technically accurate drawings. This software allows for precise measurements and a wide range of tools for designing and modifying the drawing. MIDI technology is used for electronic music production, HTML 5 for web development, and virtual world storage for storing digital content in a virtual environment.

Question 11

Vijay is creating a cartoon with 3-D objects that have volume and can rotate 360 degrees.What type of cartoon is Vijay making?

Accepted Answer

Vijay is creating a cartoon with 3-D objects that have volume and can rotate 360 degrees, which is characteristic of 3-D animation.

Question 13

Carlos is creating an animation by drawing one image in a frame, followed by another image in a slightly different pose, and so on until the motion is complete.What is this technique called?

Accepted Answer

This technique is called in-betweening or tweening, where the animator creates intermediate frames between keyframes to create smooth motion in an animation. Sampling is a technique for capturing and digitizing analog signals. Virtual reality is a computer-generated simulation of a 3D environment that can be interacted with through special equipment. Rendering is the process of generating the final output of an animation or visual effects shot.

Question 14

Norma is a graphic designer creating a logo that will be resized often.Which of the following file formats should she choose to create the logo?

Accepted Answer

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector file format that allows for the logo to be resized without losing any quality or becoming pixelated. This makes it the ideal choice for a logo that will be resized often. GIF, JPEG, and TIFF are all raster file formats, which means they are made up of pixels and may become pixelated or lose quality when resized.

Question 15

Computer-aided design software helps architects, engineers, and scientists to design, analyze, and manufacture products with the precision of human-level intelligence.Which of the following technologies does CAD incorporate to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

CAD incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning to achieve precision in design, analysis, and manufacturing processes. MIDI technology, speech and voice recognition, and streaming and geotagging are not directly relevant to CAD.
