This paper proposes to use relief-mapped conical frusta (cones cut by planes) to skin skeletal objects. Based on this representation, current programmable graphics hardware can pe...
This paper presents a measure for assessing the perceived hardness of a haptic surface based on associated physical variables. This metric, named extended rate-hardness (ERH), is e...
By reconstructing time-varying geometry one frame at a time, one ignores the continuity of natural motion, wasting useful information about the underlying video-image formation pr...
Rendering geometric models with complex surface materials in arbitrary lighting environments is a challenging problem. In order to relight and render geometries covered with compl...
To design DNA nano-machines or analyze DNA molecular reactions, it is important to be able to predict the energy landscape of molecular structures and the energy barrier of a trans...
