Abstract The geological sciences are challenged to manage and interpret increasing volumes of data as observations and simulations increase in size and complexity. For example, …
We propose an acceleration scheme for many-body dynamic collision detection at interactive rates. We use the Velocity-Aligned Discrete Oriented Polytope (VADOP), a tight bounding …
BACKGROUND:Applications in biomedical science and life science produce large data sets using increasingly powerful imaging devices and computer simulations. It is becoming …
We introduce 3D warp brush, a new method for interactive shape modeling in an immersive virtual reality environment. 3D warp brushes are implicitly defined tools that operate on …
We propose an acceleration scheme for real-time many-body dynamic collision detection. We kinetize the sweep and prune method for many-body collision pruning, extending its …
In this article, we present the blue-c application programming interface (API) and discuss some of its performance characteristics. The blue-c API is a software toolkit for …
Distributed multimedia applications typically handle two different types of communication: request/reply interaction for control information as well as real-time streaming data. …
We present blue-c, a new immersive projection and 3D video acquisition environment for virtual design and collaboration. It combines simultaneous acquisition of multiple live video …
The blue-c is a joint research project between several institutes at ETH Zurich. Our goal is to build a collaborative, immersive virtual environment which will eventually integrate …
We present JAPE, a flexible prototyping system to support the design of a new advanced collaborative virtual environment. We describe the utilization of different hard- and …
Compression methods have become of fundamental importance in almost every subfield of scientific visualization. However, unlike image compression, advanced visualization …
We present a new method for adaptive surface meshing and triangulation which controls the local level-of-detail of the surface approximation by local spectral estimates. These …
