    • Arachnid Simulation: Scaling Arbitrary Surfaces 

      Cenydd, L. ap; Teahan, W. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      There has been little research done into the realistic simulation of creatures with the ability to crawl across arbitrary surfaces, clamber up walls and walk across ceilings. Realistic simulation of such feats would be of ...

    • Augmented Reality Scenarios for Guitar Learning 

      Liarokapis, F. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In this paper, an experimental self-teaching system capable of superimposing audio-visual information to support the process of learning to play the guitar is proposed. Different learning scenarios have been carefully ...

    • Click and Brush: A Novel Way of Finding Correlations and Relationships in Visualizations 

      Wright, Michael A. E.; Roberts, Jonathan C. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Brushing is a commonly used interaction technique that allows users to select items or an area of the visualization as the user moves the mouse. Brushing is often used with multiple views, where any co-related information ...

    • Cost Prediction Maps for Global Illumination 

      Gillibrand, Richard; Debattista, Kurt; Chalmers, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      There is a growing demand from the media industry, including computer games, virtual reality and simulation, for increasing realism in real-time for their computer generated images. Despite considerable advances in processing ...

    • An Efficient Caching Technique for Rendering Translucent Materials 

      Keng, Shih-Ling; Lee, Wang-Yeh; Chuang, Jung-Hong (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      This paper presents an efficient rendering technique for translucent materials using caches. The proposed caching scheme, inspired by the irradiance caching method, is integrated into a hierarchical rendering technique for ...

    • Fast Simulation of Facial Tissue Deformations Using Mass-Spring Chain Algorithm 

      Duysak, A.; Zhang, J. J. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      We propose a method to develop a unique head model to be used in craniofacial surgery simulations. This method considers the shape of the head and skull structure and provides a polygonal model, which includes different ...

    • Freehand 3D Curve Recognition and Oversketching 

      Han, Li; Amicis, Raffaele De; Conti, Giuseppe (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In the CAD/CAS field, the increasing domination of spline-based graphic objects has driven a great attention to methods focusing on the management of free-form curves. Based on the quick brainstorm illustration and stepwise ...

    • Implementing an Improved Stereoscopic Camera Model 

      Froner, Barbara; Holliman, Nick (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      The usable perceived depth range of all stereoscopic 3D displays is limited by human factors considerations to a bounded range around the plane of the display. To account for this our Three Region stereoscopic camera model ...

    • Implementing FastMap on the GPU: Considerations on General-Purpose Computation on Graphics Hardware 

      Reina, G.; Ertl, Thomas (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In this paper we focus on the implications of implementing generic algorithms on graphics hardware. As an example, we ported the dimensionality reduction algorithm FastMap to fragment programs and thus accelerated it by ...

    • Integrating Abstract and Physical Molecular Model Interaction 

      Thorne, Dave; Pettifer, Steve; Attwood, Terri (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Historically, bioinformaticians have carried out protein analysis in one of two ways: by concentrating on either the physical structural representation of the subject data or a more abstract sequential representation. This ...

    • Keyframing Particles of Physically Based Systems 

      Dingle, Brent M.; Keyser, John (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      This paper will present a way to use keyframing methods for particle motion to enhance the visual effects and user controllability of physically based particle systems. This will be done using an adaptive correction ...

    • Perceptual Level of Detail for Efficient Ray Tracing of Complex Scenes 

      Yang, X.; Chalmers, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Rendering complex scenes in real time remains one of the major challenges in computer graphics. Recent research in perceptual rendering algorithms and level of detail techniques have shown that, by exploiting knowledge of ...

    • Perceptually-Oriented Interest Management In Large-Scale Networked Virtual Environments 

      Dunwell, I.; Whelan, J. C. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Amongst the most significant challenges in developing large-scale multi-user virtual environments is the efficient filtering of data to each user - a process commonly described as "interest management". This work-in-progress ...
