Virtual Environments and Computer Graphics (VECG) Department of Computer Science UCL Forthcoming Event - Intelligent Motion and Interaction within Virtual Environments - A Symposium VECG is a research theme within the VIVE research group. The research spans the range from real-time computer graphics rendering to human factors issues in virtual reality. A common theme is that we want to understand how to make virtual reality effective . So we carry out experiments with participants, in order to examine just what makes a difference to their sense of presence in the virtual environment, and their sense of co-presence with other people. We research on the issues involved in populating our virtual environments with crowds. This is not only a technically interesting challenge, but we know from our experimental work that empty environments, places without people don't work. We are very interested in making our avatars 'realistic', so that you will want to engage with them. But what does 'realistic' mean in this context? It does not mean photo- or geometrically accurate realism. It does mean avatars that carry out those tiny gestures and movements that we take so much for granted in everyday experience that we don't even notice them. We carry out research on real-time rendering, and are particularly interested in how real-time can be maintained even in the context of global illumination for realistic lighting.

67. Interactive Computer Graphics experience in manipulating large numbers of 3D data sets in real-time. In fact,in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry the graphics computer has evolved http://www.mih.unibas.ch/Booklet/Chapter1/Chapter1.html

Real-time animation and manipulation of 3D-objects in stereo by interactive computer graphics prepared by Christian Henn Introduction Modern graphics computers are powerful tools assisting the scientist in understanding complex three-dimensional (3-D) scenarios such as the atomic structure of a protein molecule, or a pelvis fracture as obtained by computer tomography (CT). Nowadays, graphics computers achieve such a high processing speed that it has become routine to manipulate even the most complex 3-D objects interactively, and to animate their dynamic properties in real-time. Principle Molecular modeling [Lipkowitz, 1990] is a general term involving interactive computer graphics and computational methods to construct, manipulate and analyze the structure and function of molecules. Recent advances in the development of graphics workstations have provided the scientist with virtual reality, i.e., highly complex molecular structures can be visualized and animated in real-time, providing accurate stereo impression employing state-of-the-art display technology [Akeley, 1993]. Standard molecular modeling applications include a variety of tasks, ranging from rational design of novel organic compounds to understanding the assembly of biological macromolecules. Inherent to the visualization of these problems is the representation of a 3-D molecular system. At high resolution, as obtained by X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), or theoretical simulations, this task requires a structural description of the molecule in terms of its atomic coordinates. Atoms are often displayed as solid-renderd spheres, whereas covalent bonds are shown as sticks joining two atoms. Other properties of the molecule, e.g., its hydrophobic or electrostatic potential, which govern most of the intra- and intermolecular interactions, can best be displayed on a solvent-accessible surface generated from its atomic coordinates.

Real-time visualization, manipulation and interpretation of biological objects by interactive computer graphics prepared by Daniel Stoffler and Christian Henn INTRODUCTION 3-Dimensional (3-D) structural information is the key to understanding the function of biomolecules , their molecular interactions and supramolecular assemblies . Over the past decade, a variety of experimental and theoretical methods have been developed to provide 3-D structural insight at various resolutions, such as obtained by X-ray crystallography nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron microscopy (EM), atomic force miscroscopy (AFM), and medical imaging such as computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Modern graphics computers are powerful tools to visualize these 3-D data sets , so it has become routine to manipulate even the most complex 3-D objects interactively , and to animate their dynamic properties in real-time [c.f. Henn et al., 1996 Structure determination requires experimental data to be gathered by different data acquisition methods and under a variety of preparation conditions, because a given method either provides only partial insight or is subject to preparative experimental artifacts due to the size and complexity of the molecular system under investigation. Also, different preparation methods produce

Chalmers dissertations Real-Time Algorithms and Intersection Test Methods for Computer Graphics School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Computer Engineering Postgraduate Programme in Computer Engineering In real-time computer graphics applications, at least three major forces are in conflict, namely, rendering speed, the level of realism, and interactivity. Therefore this thesis focuses on real-time algorithms that enhance the realism while maintaining high rendering speed, and on fast intersection test methods in order to speed up, for example, collision detection, picking processes and ray tracing. The second part on intersection test methods starts with a paper that derives a new method for speeding up the primary ray intersections in a ray tracing program. The second paper presents a fast method for computing the intersection between a ray and a triangle, which is followed by a paper on determining whether two triangles overlap. The methods of the last two papers have applications in ray tracing, global illumination, picking processes, and in collision detection. The majority of the algorithms and methods presented in this thesis have been implemented and used in commercial software.

Real-time-graphics on a PC Cescg '97 Seminar Paper by Erik Pojar Introduction Data structures Tree structure ... Conclusion Abstract : In the field of real-time graphics, there's always need for higher performance. A very common approach to get higher frame rates, is to simply buy a more powerful machine. In this paper we want to show a different way: There are many tricks and methods on the implementation side, one can use to speed up graphics output, which, quite often, are very simple to code, while still very powerful. In this paper we will discuss some of the these techniques we used for our PC-based real-time rendering library. First we talk about the 'scene tree', which describes the scene and gives us opportunity to minimize matrix multiplications, then we talk about minimal state switches, and finally, there's a chapter about face culling and object culling (using bounding boxes). 1. Introduction We are currently working on a graphics library with the following features: fast (real-time) easy to use, but still powerful, giving you full control of the machine multi-platform implementation (PC / SGI / )

Real time rendering of heterogenous fog based on the graphics hardware acceleration Dorota Zdrojewska dzdrojewska@wi.ps.pl Institute of Computer Graphics and Multimedia Systems Technical University of Szczecin Szczecin / Poland Abstract This paper discusses the subject of synthesis of the fog phenomenon in real time using computer graphics. The method of heterogenous fog simulation based on the Perlin noise and turbulence is presented. Implementation of the algorithm is done using hardware acceleration in the form of a GPU with programmable vertex and pixel processing pipeline. Keywords: Fog synthesis, Perlin noise, vertex shader, pixel shader, computer graphics 1. Introduction Visualization of atmospheric phenomena is an important use of computer graphics, and of these fog is perhaps most frequently imaged. Its presence in games, simulators and virtual reality environments significantly enhances realism and adds to attractiveness of generated scenes. The simulation in real time is usually limited to depicting a homogenous fog [2][12], with constant density distribution, often as a volumetric layered effect [1][7][4]. In the natural world the phenomenon is however more complex - it is a participating medium made of many non-homogenous layers moving with the wind and undergoing turbulent motion. Existing methods of modelling heterogenous participating media can be classified in two groups. First of them use physical models of turbulent motion, based on FFT [6] or Navier-Stokes equations [3][16]. These methods produce very realistic images, but require long time of computation. The second group approximates physical properties of participating medium, enabling its visualization in real time. Simulation consists on applying for example periodical or fractal functions [17][9].

79. LINUX ON A PC: A VIABLE REAL-TIME GRAPHICS WORKSTATION Highend Unix-based computer systems have been the platform of choice for the pastdecade in real-time 3D graphics intensive training and simulation systems. http://www.tspi.swri.org/pub/1999ITSEC_LINUX.htm

LINUX ON A PC: A VIABLE REAL-TIME GRAPHICS WORKSTATION Craig A. Fenrich, Malcolm G. Campbell, M. Starr Zuffoletti Southwest Research Institute San Antonio, Texas ABSTRACT High-end Unix-based computer systems have been the platform of choice for the past decade in real-time 3D graphics intensive training and simulation systems. The relatively high initial investment and maintenance costs for these systems, coupled with their proprietary architecture, have prompted many developers and end-users in the training and simulation community to start searching for less costly alternatives, with comparable performance and a more open system architecture. In many cases, top-of-the-line, multi-processor personal computers (PCs) running networked operating systems can meet the graphics-intensive needs of these training and simulation systems. The most widely used PC operating systems include Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and the relatively new Linux, which is rapidly gaining popularity among developers and end-users. Linux, which is a freeware operating system under the GNU licensing agreement, runs on a variety of computer architectures and has many similarities to Unix. This Unix-like quality makes transitioning a training or simulation application from the high-end workstation environment to a PC platform relatively straightforward, although not effortless. This paper describes the porting of the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) Modeling and Simulation (AMS) system, currently running on a set of networked Unix-based graphics workstations, to a PC platform utilizing Linux. The AMS is a U.S. Air Force multi-station training and simulation software system that provides ground-based Weapons Director (WD) mission crew training for the E-3 aircraft. The paper focuses on specific porting issues of the current system, such as graphics capabilities and performance under Linux, and also covers more general issues including ease of installation, availability of source files, and available commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) packages to support transition activities. Obstacles encountered during the porting effort are identified and discussed. The paper concludes with the lessons learned as a result of the transition of the software to the new platform and details the successes and failures of the effort.
