Architects must consider an entire year's worth of solar positions and climate data to design
buildings with adequate daylight and minimal glare. However, annual simulations are time …

The conventional approach to predicting interior illumination and visual discomfort in
buildings is to run a ray tracing simulation with high accuracy settings, wait while the …

Recent developments in integrated circuit technology tend toward increased numbers of
cores rather than faster clock speeds, so software must use parallelism to achieve faster run …

There-reality environments are those virtual environments which evoke the same perceptual
response from a viewer as if they were actually present, or there, in the real scene being …

The computational requirements of a full physically-based global illumination solution are
significant, currently precluding its solution on even a powerful modern PC in reasonable let …

We propose a technique to build the irradiance cache for isotropic scattering simultaneously
with Monte Carlo progressive direct volume rendering on a single GPU, which allows us to …

Recent years have seen increasing research in perceptually-driven reductions in the costs
of realistically rendered imagery. Water is complex and recognizable, and continues to be in …

Physically-based computer graphics offers the potential of achieving high-fidelity virtual
environments in which the propagation of light in real environments is accurately simulated …

Building designers rely on predictive rendering techniques to design naturally and artificially
lit environments. However, despite decades of work on the correctness of global illumination …
