The estimation of the position and orientation of the digital video camera is a central challenge in video seethrough augmented reality. Many augmented reality applications solve this problem with the help of markerbased ...

The mediation of social presence is one of the most interesting challenges of modern communication technology. The proposed metaphor of Interactive Social Displays describes new ways of interactions with multi-/crossmodal ...

We present a new real-time hydraulic erosion simulation for Computer Graphics. In our system water runs over the surface and disintegrates the underlying layer of soil. The grit is simulated as a fluid with higher viscosity ...

Several ownership management techniques have been proposed for maintaining consistency, one of the main factors in Collaborative Virtual Environments. However, few studies address the effect that network latency has on ...

To render complex scenes on tiled displays efficiently modifications to the Chromium framework have been proposed that lead to significant lower processor and memory load on the client and a very effective utilization of ...

In this paper we introduce a VR system extension that focuses on the creation of interactive, dynamic Virtual Environments. The extension uses the recently developed programming concept, Functional Reactive Programming. ...

This paper deals with a real-time implementation on graphic processor of the dynamic particle coating method (DPCM) first proposed by [HL02] and founded on a mass-interaction formalism. When this method was proposed, it ...

We present a novel stereoscopic projection system. It combines all the advantages of modern single-chip DLP technology attractive price, great brightness, high contrast, superior resolution and color quality with those ...

The immersive visualization of virtual interactive environments presents an immense challenge to current representation techniques, especially multi-user applications. This paper presents a new solution to meet the drastically ...

Research in the area of projector- and camera-augmented office environments has demonstrated the use of cameras as desktop scanning devices, shown the benefits of using multiple display devices for focus and context ...
