Context Sensitive Flying Interface
The requirement to change scale frequently is common to many 2D and 3D applications. Users must “zoom in” to examine details and “zoom out” to appreciate the context. This...

Direct Haptic Rendering of Sculptured Models
A new tracing algorithm is described that supports haptic rendering of NURBS surfaces without the use of any intermediate representation. By using this tracing algorithm in conjun...

Post-rendering 3D warping
A pair of rendered images and their Z-buffers contain almost all of the information necessary to re-render from nearby viewpoints. For the small changes in viewpoint that occur in...

Two-Handed Direct Manipulation on the Responsive Workbench
We have built a system that allows users to naturally manipulate virtual 3D models with both hands on the Responsive Workbench, a tabletop VR device. Our design is largely based u...
