    • DomeView: A Tool for Digital Planetariums 

      Silva, M. A.; Fernandes, António Ramires; Pedrosa, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      The content produced for fulldome projection is usually made in a frame (the master) with a format corresponding to a projection of the dome on a plane, commonly the fisheye projection. Due to the distortions involved, ...
    • In-Situ 3D Sketching Using a Video Camera as an Interaction and Tracking Device 

      Simon, Gilles (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      In this paper, we present a novel method for in-situ 3D sketching of polyhedral scenes. A video camera is used as both an interaction and a tracking device, which makes the system particularly suitable for handheld devices ...
    • Interactive 3D Stereoscopic Dome with Automatic Calibration 

      Dingeldey, Felix; Schiewe, Manuel; Gerhardt, Jérémie; Ahlers, Kay-Ingo; Haulsen, Ivo (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      In recent years, the advances in projection technology and the increasing rendering capacity of modern computers allowed the development of immersive digital domes. Digital dome systems are not limited to planetariums, but ...
    • A Mobile Augmented Reality System to Enjoy the Sagrada Familia 

      Gimeno-Sancho, Jesus; Pardo-Carpia, Fernando; Morillo-Tena, Pedro; Fernández-Marin, Marcos (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      SAFAR is a mobile Augmented Reality application that makes possible to see in real-time the Sagrada Familia as it will look like when it be finished. The application successfully integrates outdoor tracking and 3D rendering ...
    • Progress in Rendering and Modeling for Digital Planetariums 

      Magnor, Marcus; Sen, Pradeep; Kniss, Joe; Angel, Edward; Wenger, Stephan (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      Contemporary challenges in the production of digital planetarium shows include real-time rendering realism as well as the creation of authentic content. While interactive, live performance is a standard feature of professional ...
    • Towards an Academic Praxis for Domed Virtual Environments 

      Carss, Peter (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      This paper sets out the current state of activities for the domed virtual environment located within the University of Plymouth, UK. Some of these activities have arisen through reactions to demands on the dome. Some, ...
    • Uniview - Visualizing the Universe 

      Klashed, Staffan; Hemingsson, Per; Emmart, Carter; Cooper, Matthew; Ynnerman, Anders (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      This paper describes the development of the software system, Uniview, the motivation behind some of the most prominent features of the system and the strengths and challenges of running a development project in such close ...
    • Visualizing Climate Change: the Potential of Dome Presentations as a Tool for Climate Communication 

      Neset, Tina-Simone S.; Wibeck, Victoria; Uhrqvist, Ola; Johansson, Jimmy (The Eurographics Association, 2010)
      This study presents the outline of a climate visualization programme directed to various target groups that was presented in a dome environment. The efforts of climate and visualization researchers to jointly develop ...
