In this paper we present an e-learning course on scientific visualization. Based on over ten years of teaching experiences in this field, we have created a multimedia online course which we use as additional material for ...

This work proposes an approach for automatic and generic runtime-combination of high-level shader programs. Many of recently introduced real-time rendering techniques rely on such programs. The fact that only a single ...

In this work we propose a scheme for analysis of the shape of a 3D model.We use Extended Reeb Graph to describe the topological structure of the model which we further enrich with extracted geometrical features. The nodes ...

ProbonoWorld is a system that allows mentally handicapped persons to safely train real-world situations in a virtual learning environment. Our system is based on the idea of using a prop on a board as an intuitive input ...

This tutorial addresses haptic simulation, perception and manipulation of complex deformable objects in virtual environments (VE). We first introduce HAPTEX, a research project dealing with haptic simulation and perception ...
