Assembly planning and evaluation is an important component of the product design process
in which details about how parts of a new product will be put together are formalized. A well …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

The rapid increase in the performance of graphics hardware, coupled with recent
improvements in its programmability, have made graphics hardware a compelling platform …

A manual for both designers and users, comprehensively presenting the current state of
experts' knowledge on virtual reality (VR) in computer science, mechanics, optics, acoustics …

Interactive environments for dynamically deforming objects play an important role in surgery
simulation and entertainment technology. These environments require fast deformable …

In a geometric context, a collision or proximity query reports information about the relative
configuration or placement of two objects. Some of the common examples of such queries …

We describe a process that constructs robot-specific circuitry for motion planning, capable of
generating motion plans approximately three orders of magnitude faster than existing …

We present a system for real-time animation and rendering of large particle sets using GPU
computation and memory objects in OpenGL. Memory objects can be used both as …

Three-dimensional user interfaces (3D UIs) let users interact with virtual objects,
environments, or information using direct 3D input in the physical and/or virtual space. In this …

We present a novel algorithm to perform continuous collision detection for articulated
models. Given two discrete configurations of the links of an articulated model, we use an …
