SEMINAR ON GUI AND 3D ANIMATIONS IN MATLAB
Presenters:
Dr. Mujtaba Hussain Jaffery
Mr. Subhan Khan
Venue:

Seminar Room, A‐Block, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology Lahore

IEEE CIIT Lahore Student Branch organized a seminar named as “GUI and 3D Animation in MATLAB” by Mr.
Subhan Khan (Lab Engineer, Electrical Engineering Department) under the supervision of Control
Automation and Power Engineering (CAPE) research group at Electrical Engineering Department held on
13th of December 2013 in Seminar room, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT), Lahore
campus. The main theme of organizing such training is to facilitate and enhance the simulation skills of
researchers/ students in their research and projects.
The students as well as the faculty staff of Electrical Engineering department was invited to attend the
Seminar.
After the Recitation by Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Asif the Seminar formally started by the introduction of Mr.
Subhan Khan presented by Mr. Asad.
68 | P a g e
Mr. Subhan gave the introduction of MATLAB/Simulink that is a high level language which provides an
interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization and programming.
After that briefly discussed about GUIs (Graphical User Interface) that it provides point‐and‐click control
of software applications (apps), eliminating the need to learn a language or type commands in order to run
the application. The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is the language used to display three‐
dimensional objects with a VRML viewer. The complexity in the Simulink model is reduced if a user
interface in the form of a GUI is available. Both GUI and VRML are useful in research as it is easier to
understand any system with its 3D animations and control through GUI.
Since most of the projects in Electrical Engineering Department are based on MATLAB, therefore, it is a
good opportunity for students/researchers to learn GUI and VRML in MATLAB.
Presentation is divided into two parts.
1) GUI (Graphical User Interface) in MATLAB/Simulink
2) VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) in MATLAB/SIMULINK
69 | P a g e
Discussed about the MATLAB GUI control objects.
After that show how to model and then interface VRML in MATLAB.
70 | P a g e
Lastly he made one 3D model on MATLAB GUI and through VRML showed how the objects perform by
presenting one complete model at the end.
71 | P a g e
In the end, special note of thanks on behalf of IEEE‐ CIIT Lahore branch to the Guests who gave moments
of their precisions time.
Dr. Mujtaba Jaffery (CAPE Head)
Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Asif
Dr. Tariq Humayun
