  In this paper we propose a framework that will recognise objects from a moving platform using scale invariant features, high dynamic range (HDR) video and stereoscopic depth information. The paper focuses on initial work ...

• Aesthetic-Interaction: Exploring the Importance of the Visual Aesthetic in the Creation of Engaging Photorealistic VR Environments 

  Carroll, Fiona (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

  Nearly forty years since its conception, the medium of VR is still an enigma. In many ways, it is a medium that still lacks its own uniform language. VR, and particularly photorealistic VR, is a medium that is so occupied ...

• Near-correct Ocular Accommodation Responses to a 3d Display, Using Multiple Image Planes and Depth Filtering 

  MacKenzie, Kevin J.; Watt, Simon J. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

  Conventional stereo displays provide incorrect focus cues because the image is presented on a single surface. This is known to cause a number of aversive symptoms in users, including fatigue and discomfort. Multiple-focal-plane ...

• Influencing User Attention Using Real-Time Stylised Rendering 

  Redmond, Niall; Dingliana, John (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

  In this paper, we present a series of experiments that were conducted to further understand how using adaptive levels of artistic abstraction within an interactive 3D scene can influence user gaze behaviour. We found that ...

• Developing an Application to Provide Interactive Threedimensional Visualisation of Bone Fractures 

  Wilson, Arline F.; Musgrove, Peter B.; Buckley, Kevan A.; Pearce, Gill; Geoghegan, John (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

  The main research question for this work is: What are the factors involved in developing a three-dimensional (3D) interactive model of a bone fracture and how best may these be addressed? This paper presents work in progress ...

• Touching The Invisible - Molecular Haptics 

  Davies, R. Andrew; Maskery, James S.; John, Nigel W. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

  Novel, simple, cost-effective applications combining haptics and computer graphics for the study of key chemical concepts such as reactivity and periodicity at AS/A-level and undergraduate level are described.

• Higher Dimensional Vector Field Visualization: A Survey 

  Peng, Zhenmin; Laramee, Robert S. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

• Fast and Accurate Finite Element Method for Deformation Animations 

  Tang, Wen; Wan, Tao Ruan; Niquin, Ceddric; Schildknecht, Alexandre (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

  We present a matrix clustering method for speeding up finite element computations for non-rigid object animation. The method increases the efficiency of computing deformation dynamics through a compression scheme that ...

• Markerless Visual Human Movement Tracking for HCI: What Frequency? 

  Kahlesz, Ferenc; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

  This paper tries to establish a minimal tracking frequency limit for visual human movement tracking algorithms that intend to be useful for the realization of some kind Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) metaphor. More ...

• Facial Expression Transferring with a Deformable Model 

  Xiang, Guofu; Ju, Xiangyang; Holt, Patrik O'B.; Shang, Lin (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

  This paper presents an automated approach to transferring facial expressions from a generic facial model onto various individual facial models without requiring any prior correspondences and manual interventions during the ...

• Hardware Accelerated Shaders Using FPGAs 

  Goddard, Luke; Stephenson, Ian (The Eurographics Association, 2009)

  We demonstrate that Field Programable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can be used to accelerate shading of surfaces for production quality rendering (a task standard interactive graphics hardware is generally ill-suited to) by allowing ...
