Until now, real-time environments have focused on optimizing the speed of the display, mainly by managing various levels of details of the scene's objects. These approaches are generally aimed at virtual scenes with rigid objects. If we consider that objects can be deformed trough time, another process has to be considered in the scene building pipeline: each object must be deformed prior to it...

This paper propose a new stereo video coding approach for auto-stereo display system. Firstly, we encode stereo video with H.264 standard compatible. Secondly, we implement disparity estimation to get the disparity information, and then encode them. After decoding these bitstreams, we render virtual views based on disparity information for our auto-stereo display. Exhaustive experiments are con...

A real-time full-color phase-only holographic display system generates holograms of 3D objects. The system includes a 3D object formed by voxels, an internet-based transmission capability that transmits the object information to the server, a real-time hologram generation unit, and a holographic display unit with incoherent illumination. The server calculates three phase holograms for RGB compo...

We present a quadtree-based selective refinement algorithm for real-time, view-dependent image warping used to present images with mirror displays that require a non-linear predistortion. The algorithm applies two-pass rendering, and recursively generates and selectively refines the underlying image grid with locally adapted levels of detail. Each discrete level of detail is determined by compu...

Virtual reality displays, such as head-mounted displays (HMD) afford us a superior spatial awareness by leveraging our vestibular and proprioceptive senses. Since the classical times, people have used memory palaces as a spatial mnemonic to help remember information by organizing it spatially in an environment and associating it with salient features in that environment. In this paper, we explo...

The area of the Dansuie River watershed located in the northern Taiwan is 2,726 km. The main stream runs 159km through the Taipei metropolitan areas as the political, economic, and cultural centers of Taiwan. Owing to short and steep runoff path-lines and non-uniform rainfall patterns, large floods arrive rapidly in the middle-to-downstream reaches of the watershed, causing serious damage. In o...
