Las Meninas: Narrative Illusions in Virtual Reality
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
Las Meninas is a virtual reality artwork based on the painting of the same name by the Spanish painter Diego Velazquez. Created for the CAVE-Automatic Virtual Environment, Las Meninas is fused with narrative illusions as ...
Multiresolution Modeling: Survey and Future Opportunities
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
For twenty years, it has been clear that many datasets are excessively complex for applications such as real-time display, and that techniques for controlling the level of detail of models are crucial.More recently, there ...
HIT! BAT! IT!
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
Today’s high technology is tomorrow’s standard technology. In this rapidly progressing computer graphics world, my goal as designer is to polish and improve on the "old" and well-used skills. This production was originally ...
Edinburgh: 200 years of heritage through image-based virtual environments
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
Heritage is an important application of virtual environments. The key role of virtual environments in this sector is to provide a spatial context for historical records, artifacts and places. This spatial context makes the ...
Virtual Reconstruction of Medieval Architecture
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
We describe the reconstruction of a medieval building as an example of how the use of 3D computer graphics can facilitate the reconstruction of an ancient site. We suggest that different stages of a virtual reconstruction ...
Books and Devices from the Old -Their Renaissance in Computer Graphics
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
In the following we present three of our institute’s activities concerning cultural heritage. First we present a reconstruction of the Antikythera Mechanism, which is the world’s oldest calculator of astronomical purpose. ...
Baroque Dance Animation with Virtual Dancers
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
Our approach to computer simulation of the human movement is based on a high level description of the grammar of the movement and on the combination of basic movements acquired using motion capture systems. The combinatory ...
3D virtual facial reconstruction and visualization of ancient Egyptian mummies using spiral CT data
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
The problem of rebuilding a face from human remains has been, until now, especially relevant in the ambit of forensic sciences, where it is obviously oriented toward the identification of otherwise unrecognizable corpses; ...
A Pyramidal Hemisphere Subdivision Method for Monte Carlo Radiosity
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
In this paper we present a new method to improve Monte Carlo radiosity by sending more rays towards selected directions. More precisely, we determine regions of the scene where the distribution of the power must be done ...
Multidimensional Shape Modeling for Animation
(Eurographics Association, 1999)
An approach is proposed for generating animation sequences from functionally defined multidimensional shapes. An animation sequence can be considered as a particular case of a multimedia object and can be described using ...
