User interfaces can improve task performance by exploiting the powerful human capabilities for spatial cognition. This opportunity has been demonstrated by many prior experiments....
Three-dimensional maps are fundamental tools for presenting, exploring, and manipulating geo data. This paper describes multiresolution concepts for 3D maps and their texture-base...
A knitted animal is made of a closed surface consisting of several knitted patches knitted out of yarn and stuffed with cotton (Fig. 1). We introduce a system to create a knitting...
The traditional high-level algorithms for rigid body simulation work well for moderate numbers of bodies but scale poorly to systems of hundreds or more moving, interacting bodies...
Most of the existing 3D engines are overwhelmingly complex and do not integrate support for virtual characters. We have developed a teaching oriented 3D engine with support for su...
