Interactively Evolving Virtual Environment Maps with Continuous Layered Pattern Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Height fields are evolved for use in virtual environments. Interactive aesthetic selection is employed as a fitness function for generating successive populations of images with a genetic algorithm. The images are represented using continuous layered pattern functions, which are based on procedural texturing techniques. The design space defined by the representation can be controllably biased toward specific formal qualities.

View-Dependent Layered Projective Texture Maps
Capturing and rendering of real scenes in an immersive virtual environment is still a challenging task. In this paper we present a novel workflow, which emphasizes high-quality, view-dependent projective texturing at low memory cost, while allowing artist intervention to ensure image quality control. First, a small set of photographs of a real scene are used to create a 3D model, using standard...
متن کاملA Virtual Environment for Interactive Visualization of Power System Economic and Security Information
Simulation and analysis of power systems often involves modeling extremely complex systems. This is particularly true when the model involves not just the electrical power system, but also other networks layered on top of the power system, such as the accompanying financial transactions. Such layered networks can often involve interactions that are not at all obvious. Interactive visualization ...
متن کاملNon-Dedicated Distributed Environment: A Solution for Safe and Continuous Exploitation of Idle Cycles
The Non-Dedicated Distributed Environment (NDDE) aims to muster the idle processing power of interactive computers (workstations or PCs) into a virtual resource for parallel applications and grid computing. NDDE is novel in the sense that it allows for safe and continuous use of idle cycles. Differently from existing solutions, NDDE applications run inside a virtual machine rather than on the u...
متن کاملA Ray Tracing based Virtual Reality Framework for Industrial Design
Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Virtual Reality (VR) are becoming increasingly important tools for industrial design applications. Unfortunately, there is a huge and growing gap between what data CAD engineers are working on, what rendering quality is needed by designers and executives to faithfully judge a design variant, and what rendering capabilities are offered by commonly available VR fra...
متن کاملInbuilt Evaluation Mechanisms To Gauge Engagement In a Virtua
This paper describes a virtual historically simulated environment with inbuilt evaluation mechanisms to test the effect of various levels of interactivity on user engagement and immersion in a foreign cultural environment. The proposed evaluation mechanisms are computer scripted agents, dynamic physical environments, culturally situated tasks and artifacts, and multi-layered ‘memento maps’. As ...
