How the site is built
The page notes it runs on GitHub Pages. Content is maintained and previewed in Markdown files, and whenever a commit is made to the repository, GitHub Pages runs Jekyll to rebuild the site from those Markdown files. This is a standard static-site setup, so the site itself is a lightweight, text-driven profile rather than a dynamic application.
When this site is useful to you
- You are a student or colleague looking for course material related to HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, or interactive media programming.
- You work with motion capture and want to see how webcam-based pose estimation can be converted to BVH format.
- You want a quick reference for Tejaswi Gowda's roles, research areas, and GitHub activity in one place.
If you need current course enrollment details, pricing, or availability of any project, the site does not provide that information — check the linked GitHub repositories or contact the institution directly.
