| dc.description.abstract | Previous studies at the intersection between rendering and psychology have concentrated on issues such as realismand acuity. Although such results have been useful in informing development of realistic rendering techniques,studies have shown that the interpretation of images is influenced by factors that have little to do with realism. Inthis paper, we summarize a series of experiments, the most recent of which are reported in a separate paper, thatinvestigate affective (emotive) qualities of images. These demonstrate significant effects that can be utilized withininteractive graphics, particularly via non-photorealistic rendering (NPR). We explain how the interpretation ofthese results requires a high-level model of cognitive information processing, and use such a model to account forrecent empirical results on rendering and judgement.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.m [Computer Graphics]: Miscellaneous | en_US |
