      In this half-day tutorial, we review a variety of applications of information theory in visualization. The holistic nature of information-theoretic reasoning has enabled many such applications, ranging from light placement ...
    • A Video Games Technologies Course: Teaching, Learning, and Research 

      Amador, Gonçalo; Gomes, Abel (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      In the last decade, several higher education institutions began to provide courses and/or degrees in games content creation, games design, and games development, largely because of the astonishing growth of games as one ...
    • Directional Field Synthesis, Design, and Processing 

      Vaxman, Amir; Campen, Marcel; Diamanti, Olga; Panozzo, Daniele; Bommes, David; Hildebrandt, Klaus; Ben-Chen, Mirela (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
      Direction fields and vector fields play an increasingly important role in computer graphics and geometry processing. The synthesis of directional fields on surfaces, or other spatial domains, is a fundamental step in ...
    • The HDR-video Pipeline 

      Unger, Jonas; Banterle, Francesco; Eilertsen, Gabriel; Mantiuk, Rafał K. (The Eurographics Association, 2016)
      High dynamic range (HDR) video technology has gone through remarkable developments over the last few years; HDR-video cameras are being commercialized, new algorithms for color grading and tone mapping specifically designed ...
    • A 3D Morphable Model of the Eye Region
