A Tangible Interface for High-Level Direction of Multiple Animated Characters
Many training, education, and visualization environments would benefit from realistic animated characters. Unfortunately, interfaces for character motion specification are often c...

A Taxonomy of Tasks and Visualizations for Casual Interaction of Multimedia Histories
Many groupware systems now allow people to converse and casually interact through their computers in quite rich ways—through text, images, video, artifact sharing and so on. If ...

Toward Modeling of a Suturing Task
In this paper we present our initial work on simulating suture and suturing using mass-spring models. Various models for simulating suture were studied, and a simple linear mass-s...

Easy Realignment of k-DOP Bounding Volumes
In this paper we reconsider pairwise collision detection for rigid motions using a k-DOP bounding volume hierarchy. This data structure is particularly attractive because it is eq...

CInDeR: Collision and Interference Detection in Real-time using graphics hardware
Collision detection is a vital task in almost all forms of computer animation and physical simulation. It is also one of the most computationally expensive, and therefore a freque...
