Pad: an alternative approach to the computer interface
We believe that navigation in information spaces is best supported by tapping into our natural spatial and geographic ways of thinking. To this end, we are developing a new comput...

Sensor-actuator networks
Sensor-actuator networks (SANs) are a new approach for the physically-based animation of objects. The user supplies the configuratíon of a mechanical system that hás been augmen...

Combining hierarchical radiosity and discontinuity meshing
We introduce a new approach for the computation of viewindependent solutions to the diffuse global illumination problem in polyhedral environments. The approach combines ideas fro...

Radioptimization: goal based rendering
This paper presents a method for designing the illumination in an environment using optimization techniques applied to a radiosity based image synthesis system. An optimization of...

Mesh optimization
We present a method for solving the following problem: Given a set of data points scattered in three dimensions and an initial triangular mesh M0, produce a mesh M, of the same to...

Hierarchical Z-buffer visibility
An ideal visibility algorithm should a) quickly reject most of the hidden geometry in a model and b) exploit the spatial and perhaps temporal coherence of the images being generat...

Autocalibration for virtual environments tracking hardware
We describe two instances in which precise mechanical calibration of virtual environments equipment has been replaced by automated algorithmic calibration through software that en...

Wavelet radiosity
Radiosity methods have been shown to be an effective means to solve the global illumination problem in Lambertian diffuse environments. These methods approximate the radiosity int...

Adaptive display algorithm for interactive frame rates during visualization of complex virtual environments
We describe an adaptive display algorithm for interactive frame rates during visualization of very complex virtual environments. The algorithm relies upon a hierarchical model rep...
