    • Non-Conventional Interfaces using Stamp Controllers 

      Mallinder, Hugh; Jones, Huw (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Artists continue to search for new methods of creation of artworks. The trend to interactive multimedia installation work requires systems that allow participants to interact in subtle ways. The paper describes a number ...
    • Realising Real Time Multimedia Groupware on the Web 

      Allison, Colin; Bateman, Martin; Ruddle, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Real-time audio and video conferencing has not yet been satisfactorily integrated into web-based groupware environments. Conferencing tools are at best only loosely linked to other parts of a shared working environment. ...
    • Reusing Motions and Models in Animations 

      Huang, Akanksha Z.; Prabhakaran, B.; Ruiz, C. R.; Jr., (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Computer animated 3D models have been increasingly used in multimedia presentations because they can be viewed and manipulated directly in 3D. In this paper, we propose a database approach for this problem. Our main objective ...
    • Screen Space: Depiction and the Space of Interactive Media 

      Davis, Stephen Boyd; Jones, Huw (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The spatial properties of digital interactive multimedia are analysed and contrasted with those of pictures, and of narrative feature films and factual television. These media have developed distinctive spatial methods and ...
    • Self-Organizing Multimedia and Extremely Distributed Architectures 

      Butera, William; Bove, V. Michael; Jr., (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The Object-Based Media Group at the MIT Media Laboratory is developing robust, self-organizing programming models for dense ensembles of ultra-miniaturized computing nodes which are deployed by the thousands in bulk fashion, ...
    • A Server-based Interactive Remote Walkthrough 

      Cohen-Or, Daniel; Noimark, Yuval; Zvi, Tali (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      This paper presents a server-based remote walkthrough system. The client is assumed to be a thin client, like a handset or a mobile device, with no strong processor but with some embedded video chip. The server holds the ...
    • Sobol Partial Distortion Algorithm for Fast Full Search in Block Motion Estimation 

      Quaglia, Davide; Montrucchino, Bartolomeo (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Block motion estimation is a cpu intensive task for video encoding. Many fast algorithms have been developed to solve this problem, trying to improve both block searching and block matching. Some of them reduce the image ...
    • SPATIAL VIDEO Exploring Space Using Multiple Digital Videos 

      Nobre, Edmundo M. N.; Camara, Antonio S. (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      This paper pre sents and discusses a new approach to collect, organize and explore multiple digital videos on a spatial basis. We present a methodology based on direct video frame indexation to the real space represented ...
    • Story Networks: 'The medium is the message'; The content, your souvenir 

      Davenport, Glorianna (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Storytelling -- a fundamental mode of human communication -- has adapted in form, content, and technique as new expressive technologies have appeared and evolved. The past century has witnessed the growth of storytelling ...
