In this work, we present virtual tailor tools which allow the interactive design and modification of clothing in a 3D Virtual Environment. In particular, we propose algorithms and interaction techniques for sewing and cutting garments during a physical ...

The availability of a suitable framework is of vital importance for the development of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) projects. While features such as scalability, platform independence, support of multiple users, distribution of ...

Texture mapping greatly influences the performance of visualization in many 3D applications. Sometimes the texture data is so large that it has to be stored in slower external storage, rather than fast texture memory or host memory. In these ...

In this paper, we propose an appearance representation for general complex materials which can be applied in real-time rendering framework. By combining a single parametric shading function (such as the Phong model) and the proposed spatial-varying ...

Global illumination dramatically improves realistic appearance of rendered scenes, but usually it is neglected in VR systems due to its high costs. In this work we present an efficient global illumination solution specifically tailored for those CAVE ...

Most of the common approaches for the pedestrian simulation, used in the Graphics/VR community, are bottom-up. The avatars are individually simulated in the space and the overall behavior emerges from their interactions. This can lead to interesting ...

For realistic animation of an artificial character a body model that represents the character's kinematic structure is required. Hierarchical skeleton models are widely used which represent bodies as chains of bones with interconnecting joints. In video ...

This paper presents an algorithm for interactive character animation with kinematic constraints with limited computational time. In order to reduce necessary computation, the animation is not created by procedural algorithm but synthesized by deforming ...

True real-time animation of complex hairstyles on animated characters is the goal of this work, and the challenge is to build a mechanical model of the hairstyle which is sufficiently fast for real-time performance while preserving the particular ...

We propose a positional constraint method to solve the multi-layered deformable surface problem based on a master-slave scheme. This allows two or more deformable surfaces to be attached together in any orientation relative to each other for the purpose ...

We present a reliable culling algorithm that enables fast and accurate collision detection between triangulated models in a complex environment. Our algorithm performs fast visibility queries on the GPUs for eliminating a subset of primitives that are ...
