Fast contact handling of soft articulated characters is a computationally challenging problem, in part due to complex interplay between skeletal and surface deformation. We present a fast, novel algorithm based on a layered ...

We introduce a new appearance-modeling paradigm for synthesizing the internal structure of a 3D model from photographs of a few cross-sections of a real object. When the internal surfaces of the 3D model are revealed as ...

We present a method for animating deformable objects using a novel finite element discretization on convex polyhedra. Our finite element approach draws upon recently introduced 3D mean value coordinates to define smooth ...

We propose a new adaptive space deformation method for interactive shape modeling. A novel energy formulation based on elastically coupled volumetric cells yields intuitive detail preservation even under large deformations. ...

This paper presents novel techniques and metaphors for on-demand visual workspaces in everyday office environments, providing space-efficient, flexible and highly interactive graphical user interfaces using projected ...

In this paper, we propose a novel framework to represent visual information. Extending the notion of conventional image-based rendering, our framework makes joint use of both light fields and holograms as complementary ...

3D video billboard clouds reconstruct and represent a dynamic three-dimensional scene using displacement-mapped billboards. They consist of geometric proxy planes augmented with detailed displacement maps and combine the ...
