• Color Consistency for Digital Multi-Projector Stereo Display Systems : The HEyeWall and The Digital CAVE 

  Kresse, W.; Reiners, D.; Knöpfle, C. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)

  Digital projectors have a significant advantage over CRTs for IPT setups: brightness. But they also have a number of disadvantages, one of which is color consistency. This problem is exacerbated when using the Infitec ...

• Interacting with real time simulations - virtual reality in industry applications 

  Jönsson, A.; Bathelt, J.; Broman, G. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)

  Modern manufacturing machines are highly multidisciplinary, and with demands on short time-to-market, product development based on traditional prototype testing has become impractical. By using virtual models, it is possible ...

• Color Gamut Matching for Tiled DisplayWalls 

  Wallace, Grant; Chen, Han; Li, Kai (The Eurographics Association, 2003)

  This paper presents a non-parametric full-gamut color matching algorithm. Color matching is important for the seamless appearance of tiled displays. In particular we address the case where the tiled display is composed of ...

• Seamless Multi-Projector Display on Curved Screens 

  Baar, Jeroen van; Willwacher, Thomas; Rao, Srinivas; Raskar, Ramesh (The Eurographics Association, 2003)

  We describe a new technique to display seamless images using overlapping projectors on curved surfaces. Our method addresses issues such as automatic registration, smooth intensity blending and efficient render-ing. Previous ...

• Sensing Surfaces - Bringing the Desktop into Virtual Environments 

  Bues, Matthias; Blach, Roland; Haselberger, Frank (The Eurographics Association, 2003)

  There are many classes of information for which a suitable 3-D representation does not (yet) exist, and for which users are familiar with more or less efficient desktop interfaces. Therefore, a convenient way of accessing ...

• Comparative Visualization of FEM-Based Cutting Simulations in a Virtual Environment 

  Klocke, Fritz; Straube, Andreas M. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)

  As one of the final steps in the industrial manufacturing chain, machining operations require significant economic consideration. At this stage, design components have already passed through several steps of this value-added ...

• Extending the Working Volume of Projection-based Mixed Reality Systems 

  Splechtna, R.C.; Fuhrmann, A.L. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)

  The working volume of a Mixed Reality (MR) system - which superimposes the real environment with computer- generated virtual content - strongly depends upon the output/display device used. Single screen projection systems ...

• Haptic Rendering of Complex Force Fields 

  Krenek, Ales (The Eurographics Association, 2003)

  With a particular focus in scientific applications, we propose a method of haptic rendering of virtual environments which require rather complex calculations to evaluate their behaviour. Therefore it is not possible to ...

• A Comprehensive Calibration and Registration Procedure for the Visual HapticWorkbench 

  Ikits, Milan; Hansen, Charles D.; Johnson, Christopher R. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)

  We present a simple yet efficient calibration and registration procedure for improving the overall static display accuracy of the Visual Haptic Workbench. The procedure is used for precisely colocating the visual and haptic ...

• Softgenlock: Active Stereo and GenLock for PC Cluster
