    • Augmented Reality Scenarios for Guitar Learning 

      Liarokapis, F. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In this paper, an experimental self-teaching system capable of superimposing audio-visual information to support the process of learning to play the guitar is proposed. Different learning scenarios have been carefully ...

    • The Data Surface Interaction Paradigm 

      Lindell, Rikard; Larsson, Thomas (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      This paper presents, in contrasts to the desktop metaphor, a content centric data surface interaction paradigm for graphical user interfaces applied to music creativity improvisation. Issues taken into account were navigation ...

    • Simulation and Visualization of a large scale Real Time Multi-Robot system 

      Al-Hudhud, G.; Ayesh, A.; Istance, H. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

    • Visualization of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics for Astrophysics 

      Walker, Rick; Kenny, Peter; Miao, Jingqi (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Scientific visualization still presents a number of challenges. Effective visualization straddles several problem domains - the data structures needed to support visualization of large data sets, rendering techniques for ...

    • Arachnid Simulation: Scaling Arbitrary Surfaces 

      Cenydd, L. ap; Teahan, W. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      There has been little research done into the realistic simulation of creatures with the ability to crawl across arbitrary surfaces, clamber up walls and walk across ceilings. Realistic simulation of such feats would be of ...

    • Fast Simulation of Facial Tissue Deformations Using Mass-Spring Chain Algorithm 

      Duysak, A.; Zhang, J. J. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      We propose a method to develop a unique head model to be used in craniofacial surgery simulations. This method considers the shape of the head and skull structure and provides a polygonal model, which includes different ...

    • Cost Prediction Maps for Global Illumination 

      Gillibrand, Richard; Debattista, Kurt; Chalmers, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      There is a growing demand from the media industry, including computer games, virtual reality and simulation, for increasing realism in real-time for their computer generated images. Despite considerable advances in processing ...
