Virtual Reality (VR) systems may be used with great effectiveness in applications such as urban planning, virtual tourism, cultural heritage and education. In fact, the VR systems allow the visualization and interaction ...

This paper presents a new real-time method to model and render how sprayed concrete is spread on a surface. The method not only models and renders deposits sprayed from any angle, any distance and with any concrete flow, ...

Light field editing is a complex task, due to the large amount of data and the need to keep consistency between views. This has hampered the creation of efficient edit propagation methods, similar to those existing for ...

Water simulation, and more generically fluid simulation, is an important research topic in computer graphics. In 3D Eulerian Navier-Stokes-based water simulations, surface tracking and rendering are two delicate problems. ...

Characters, like other articulated objects and structures, are typically simulated using articulated dynamics algorithms. There are efficient linear-time algorithms for the simulation of open-chain articulated bodies, but ...

Multiuser computer systems allow several users to collaborate on the same task. Medium sized displays, like workbenches or tabletops provide a shared view of the task and a set of input devices to interface with the system. ...

In the new age of omnipresent internet, browsers are accessible on every device in everyday's life. Thus it is also needed new interaction methods to facilitate the interaction through browser. Augmented reality is one of ...

High-quality texture minification techniques, including trilinear and anisotropic filtering, require texture data to be arranged into a collection of prefiltered texture maps called mipmaps. In this paper we present a ...

In this paper we introduce a method for designing a class of engineering structures, namely suspension bridges. These bridges are ubiquitous in the industrialized countries, often appearing in known city landscapes, yet ...

The presence or not of collisions between objects is usually required to study the interaction between them, increasing the realism in virtual environments. Collision detection between polygonal objects has been widely ...
