The recent boom in computing capabilities of mobile devices has led to the introduction of Virtual Reality into the mobile ecosystem. We demonstrate a framework for the Samsung Gear VR headset that allows developers to create a totally immersive AR & VR ...

Geometric restoration that composes 3D fragmented pieces into the original complete object is an important computer graphics and geometric processing problem. Automatic and effective restoration has applications in many fields such as archeological ...

Medial axis is a classical shape descriptor that is widely used in computer graphics, computer vision, and pattern recognition. Defined elegantly as the locus of points with multiple nearest neighbors on the object boundary, the medial axis preserves ...

Digital materials are discrete elements such as LEGO Blocks that it can be a kind of reconfigurable 3D matters. There are two advantages of using digital material rather than a continuous material. Firstly, it is easy to change the form after shaping by ...

Understanding and perceiving the world from a child's perspective is a very important key not only to design products and architecture, but also to remind staff who work closely with children, such as hospitals and kindergartens. Ida et al. investigated ...

Sketching is a natural human practice. With the popularity of multi-touch tablets and styluses, sketching has become a more popular means of human-computer interaction. However, accurately recognizing sketches is rather challenging, especially when they ...

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a recent surgical technique where the surgeon does not interact directly with the patient's organs. In contrast to open surgery, the surgeon manipulates the organs through instruments inserted in the patient's ...

Modeling 3D trees is a major theme in the field of computer graphics [Steven et al. 2012]. However, there has been little research on generating illustrations of trees [Yu-Sheng et al. 2012]. One of the ways to generate them is to render their 3D ...

The complexity of the world around us is creating a demand for novel interfaces that will simplify and enhance the way we interact with the environment. The recently unveiled Android Wear operating system addresses this demand by providing a modern ...

We present PaperPulse, a design and fabrication approach that enables designers without a technical background to produce standalone interactive paper artifacts by augmenting them with electronics. With PaperPulse designers overlay pre-designed visual ...

Cryotherapy is a rapidly growing minimally invasive technique for the treatment of different kinds of tumors, such as breast cancer, renal and prostate cancer. Several hollow needles are percutaneously inserted in the target area under image guidance and ...

Many people have been familiar with subtractive color model based on pigment color compositing since their early childhood. However, the RGB color space is not comprehensible for children due to additive color compositing. In the RGB color space, the ...

The field of micrometeorology is primarily concerned with smaller-scale meteorological phenomena, specifically those which occur within the lowest atmospheric layer called the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL). The primary defining characteristic of the ...

Drawing on a sketchbook is one of the most familiar arts and people of all ages can enjoy it. Thus a lot of CG applications on which a user can create 2D and 3DCG images with drawing operations have been developed [Kondo et al. 2013]. On the other hand, ...

Unsupervised matting, whose goal is to extract interesting foreground components from arbitrary and natural background regions without any additional information of the contents of the corresponding scenes, plays an important role in many computer ...

Attention is a limited resource that intrinsically dictates our perceptions, memories, and behaviors. Further, visuospatial attention correlates highly with user engagement, heart rate, and arousal [El-Nasr et al. 2010]. Artists and interactive game ...

Various colors, such as in a prism, are observed in properly cut diamond even under white light because of dispersion. Properly-cut diamond brings about scintillation when viewing angle is changed, because total reflection inside a diamond tends to ...

Realistic representation of nature scenes is one of the most challenging areas in computer graphics community. There are important factors to synthesize realistic scenes in 3D CG which are decayed materials such as dead trees, weathered statues, rusty ...

This paper presents a novel method for automatic registration of video streams originated from two depth-sensing cameras. The system consists of a sender and receiver, in which the sender obtains the streams from two RGBD sensors placed arbitrarily ...

3D printing is becoming a more common technology and has a growing number of applications. Although 3D compression algorithms have been studied in the computer graphics (CG) community for decades, the quality of the compressed 3D models are discussed ...
