Abstract:


    Description
    This course focuses on interactive systems and algorithms for displaying complex geometric databases which require sophisticated scene management techniques to achieve frame rate. Beginning with a discussion  of basic techniques and leading to state-of-the-art algorithms, the speakers will address key issues in walkthrough, including visibility computations, automatic object simplification, and memory management through database subset prefetching. Speakers will show real applications of these  algorithms to a variety of areas, including game development, visual simulation, virtual reality, architecture, and digital mockup.
