We describe a course for non-majors that teaches computer science concepts and programming by creating simple animations and building 2D and 3D virtual worlds. Students work with ...
High Dynamic Range (HDR) rendering has a growing success in video-games and virtual reality applications, as it improves the image quality and the player's immersion feeling....
Abstract. This paper adopts an interdisciplinary view of the significant elements of ecosystems and the methods by which these might be simulated to explore theoretical issues of r...
A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. Simulation models are based upon planar tissue deformations and forces measured during needle insertion exper...
We collected packet traces from Second Life client sessions and analyzed the packet contents. We observed that textures constitute a majority of the network traffic. We further c...
