How Well Can We Encode Spatial Layout from Sparse Kinesthetic Contact?
We investigated people’s ability to report the shape and scale of a spatial layout after sparse contact, without vision. We propose that the initial representation of sparsely c...

A Closest Point Algorithm for Parametric Surfaces with Global Uniform Asymptotic Stability
— We present an algorithm that determines the point on a convex parametric surface patch that is closest to a given (possibly moving) point. Any initial point belonging to the su...

Combining global and local virtual lights for detailed glossy illumination
Accurately rendering glossy materials in design applications, where previewing and interactivity are important, remains a major challenge. While many fast global illumination solu...

Psychophysically based artistic techniques for increased perceived realism of virtual environments
The perceived realism of a computer generated image depends on the accuracy of the modeling and illumination calculations, the limitations of the display device, and the way in wh...

Simulating and Modeling Lichen Growth
This paper presents a system for modeling lichens and simulating their propagation and growth in a virtual scene. Lichens colonize almost every substrate in nature and play an imp...
