Daily Life in the Middle Ages - Parma in the Cathedral Age
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This experience is the result of a close interaction between computer science and historical studies. Technological knowledge and new tools for virtual reconstruction are not sufficient for Cultural Heritage philological ... -
The Dance of the Air: a Case Study in Interactive Digital Art
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper describes the conception and realization of an interactive art installation called The Dance of the Air . The whole process is taken as a case study for the different challenges encounteredduring the implementation ... -
Developing a Virtual Training System in Aeronautical Industry
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The paper deals with the developing of a virtual training system to be implemented in an aeronautic company. The strength of the training method based on the use of Virtual Reality is the high degree of interactivity that ... -
Dynamic Rail Inspection by Vision System
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Current in-field rail track ultrasonic inspection technologies, requiring contact between the probes and the rail surface, show limitations as defect detection is affected by rail surface condition, rail head geometry and ... -
An Efficient Algorithm for Adaptive Segmentation and Tessellation with Pixel Precision
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We propose a new algorithm to get a representation of a curved surface with the precision of the image pixel. This technique uses some results from Scan-line algorithms, but it considers also the new functionalities from ... -
Explicit Adaptive Tessellation based on re-parametrization on Graphics Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We propose to use an explicit function for adaptive tessellation of parametric curves and surfaces. This function behaves as a new parametrization from the surface domain (or curve domain) to the domain itself; it is build ... -
Flexible Multimodal Architecture for CAD Application
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Multimodal interfaces are proved to increase the input\output bandwidth for a more efficient interaction in 3D activities. This work presents a novel framework designed to simplify the configuration procedures and to provide ... -
Form Features in Non-manifold Shapes: A First Classification and Analysis
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)During the industrial design process, a product model undergoes several analyses. One of the most common ones is the finite element analysis. This kind of analysis needs a simplified model, which can include idealised ... -
Human Robot Interaction in Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper, we describe a framework which helps designers visualize and verify the results of robotic work cell simulation in a Virtual Environment (VE). The system aims at significantly reducing production costs and ... -
ImaginationTOOLS (TM)- A 3D Environment for Learning and Playing Music
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper, we present ImaginationTOOLS, a software which uses mathematical models to generate, analyse and synthesize sound and music. User learns in an imaginary 3D-city basic concepts on mathematical models and music ... -
Marker-less Real-time Camera Registration for Mixed Reality
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)A real-time and robust algorithm for 3D camera registration in a Mixed Reality (MR) environment is described in this paper. The most used technique for camera pose (position and orientation with respect to a fixed or moving ... -
Medical Visualization with New Generation Spatial 3D Displays
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper the capabilities of a modern spatial 3D display are exploited for medical visualization tasks. The systemgives multiple viewers the illusion of seeing virtual objects floating at fixed physical locations. The ... -
Methods for Spatial Data Quality of 3D City Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)3D city models are nowadays used in very different applications. Due to this, the commercial exchange and, thus, the demand for high quality data becomes more and more important. We describe a quality model that defines ... -
A Mixed Environment for Ergonomics Tests: Tuning of Stereo Viewing Parameters
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Virtual Reality and related technologies are becoming a common practice in the design industry in general and more specifically in the automotive field. By the joined use of virtual prototyping methodologies it is possible ... -
Mobile Presence - a Computer Graphics Utopia?
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper we set out a future scenario of mobile presence. We will define our understanding of the term mobile presence. We will derive the requirements imposed by mobile presence with respect to computer graphics and ... -
Modelling and Animation of Theatrical Greek Masks in an Authoring System
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper describes an authoring system for modelling Greek virtual masks that express emotions for synchronising their facial movements with pre-recorded speech files, and for creating theatrical performances. The system ... -
Multiple Techniques Approach to the 3D Virtual Reconstruction of Cultural Heritage
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)According to an UNESCO survey, Italy accounts for more than half of the Cultural Heritage of the entire world. Italy's Cultural Heritage therefore represents an enormous wealth not only for the country itself but also for ... -
Patterns of Creativity in Design
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)One of the most remarkable features of the human mind is its creativity. During the course of this talk we shall be presenting some examples of the creative use of scientific models such as Chua's attractors and Cellular ... -
A Practical Vision Based Approach to Unencumbered Direct Spatial Manipulation in Virtual Worlds
