    • A Poetics of Simulation for Audiovisual Performance 

      Jones, Randy (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Audiovisual performance is a fertile area for creative expression, an intersection of experimental cinema and computer music that has seen a groundswell of interest in recent years. To create works in this emerging medium, ...

    • ColorScheme 

      Rotsztain, Jeremy (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Composed of colors sampled from Hollywood cinema, ColorScheme is a moving spectral painting that reveals how color is used in film to support the themes and mood of the narrative and to subconsciously encourage emotional ...

    • Individual Realities: Customizing Aesthetics in Shared Immersive Virtual Environments 

      Sprague, David. W.; Gooch, Amy A. (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Immersive virtual reality systems such as CAVEs and head-mounted displays offer a unique shared environment for collaborations unavailable in the real world. Virtual environments not only provide users with novel interaction ...

    • memory [en]code Building a Collective Memory within a Tabletop Installation 

      Schmidt, Holly; Hinrichs, Uta; Dunning, Alan; Carpendale, Sheelagh (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      In this paper, we introduce memory [en]code, a project that evolved through an art+science collaboration. memory [en]code is an interactive tabletop installation that visualizes different concepts of human memory in an ...

    • A Case Study from the Point of View of Aesthetics: A Dialogue Between an Artist and a Computer Scientist 

      Stamp, Arlene; Isenberg, Tobias; Carpendale, Sheelagh (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Computational Aesthetics draws from both a long history of artistic expression and the possibilities that computational methods can provide. As such, its success depends on a dialogue between the arts world and computer ...

    • Extracting the Essence from Sets of Images 

      Alexa, Marc (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      We use a set of photographs showing similar scenes as a model for a single photograph this scene. A distance measure for this model is defined by correlating the neigborhoods of pixels in similar positions. A cross analysis ...

    • Conceptualizing Birkhoff's Aesthetic Measure Using Shannon Entropy and Kolmogorov Complexity 

      Rigau, Jaume; Feixas, Miquel; Sbert, Mateu (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      In 1928, George D. Birkhoff introduced the Aesthetic Measure, defined as the ratio between order and complexity, and, in 1965, Max Bense analyzed Birkhoff s measure from an information theory point of view. In this paper, ...

    • In the Eye of the Beholder - Perception of Indeterminate Art 

      Wallraven, Christian; Kaulard, Kathrin; Kürner, Cora; Pepperell, Robert; Bülthoff, Heinrich (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      How do we interpret an object - a scene - a painting? Perception research and art illuminate from different angles how the vast amount of information in our visually perceived environment is processed by the viewer to form ...

    • An Efficient Perception-based Adaptive Color to Gray Transformation 

      Neumann, Laszlo; Cadik, Martin; Nemcsics, Antal (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      The visualization of color images in gray scale has high practical and theoretical importance. Neither the existing local, gradient based methods, nor the fast global techniques give a satisfying result. We present a new ...

    • Magnetism and Minimal Surfaces -- a Different Tool for Surface Design 

      Gruber, Franz; Glaeser, Georg (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      The design of free form surfaces is usually based on NURBS and it works well to quickly get shapes that a designer intends to create. Such surfaces then have desired properties like given border lines and C1 or C2 continuity ...

    • Perceptual Reparameterization of Material Properties 

      Cunningham, Douglas W.; Wallraven, Christian; Fleming, Roland W.; Straßer, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      The recent increase in both the range and the subtlety of computer graphics techniques has greatly expanded the possibilities for synthesizing images. In many cases, however, the relationship between the parameters of an ...

    • Liquid Penetration Modeling for Cloth Dyeing 

      Morimoto, Yuki; Tsuruno, Reiji; Tomimatsu, Kiyoshi (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
