A biologically inspired generation of virtual characters
A number of techniques for generating geometric models of human head and body are in use nowadays. Models of human characters are useful in computer games, virtual reality, and ma...

Using a 3D Puzzle as a Metaphor for Learning Spatial Relations
We introduce a new metaphor for learning spatial relations--the 3D puzzle. With this metaphor users learn spatial relations by assembling a geometric model themselves. For this pu...

Automatic Image Placement to Provide a Guaranteed Frame Rate
We present a preprocessing algorithm and run-time system for rendering 3D geometric models at a guaranteed frame rate. Our approach trades off space for frame rate by using images...
