This paper proposes an interactive goal-based method for designing daylit buildings. The lighting simulation tool which supports this process is a hybrid global illumination rendering method which efficiently computes annual daylighting metrics. The goal-based method uses a knowledge base populated using a set of previously completed simulations that quantify the effects of various façade desig...

Computer science students contemplating a career in graphics need to develop a visual sense, but traditional course topics do not meet this need. Visual analysis is a teaching technique developed for computer science instructors that helps impart this ability. Through the use of a few visual cues, students learn to visually identify surface algorithms, shaders and lighting techniques. An intera...

aims: work proper lighting means a safe, healthy and comfort conditions for work under a lighting system that includes qualitative and quantitative features. this study aimed to evaluate the surface local lighting of works and eye fatigue among research and development staffs of an automotive industry. instrument & methods: in this descriptive study in research and development department of an ...

background: the aims of this study were to evaluate the employees' subjective assessments of different aspects of lighting condition as well as task area illuminance in manufacturing plants. methods: this field study was conducted between march and may 2013 , in three packing plants (saveh, central iran). data were collected by questionnaire and measurement of the task area illuminance levels. ...

Most of the work in NPR has been static 2D images or image sequences generated by a batch process. In this part of the course notes we explore interactive NPR through the example of interactive technical illustration [4]. Work that has been done on computer generated technical illustrations has focused on static images and has not included all of the techniques used to hand draw technical illus...

We describe algorithms that produce accurate real-time interactive in-space views of the eight Thurston geometries using ray-marching. give a theoretical framework for our algorithms, independent geometry involved. In addition to scenes within X, we also consider quotient manifolds and orbifolds X/Γ. adapt Phong lighting model non-euclidean geometries. The most difficult part this is calculatio...

background: it has been prover that the prevalence of experiencing job related stress is very high among the dentists. this stress can be the result of factors such as poor lightening of dental office and noise. this stress can cause emotional distress and threaten dentists’ physical health and affect the quality of their life. this study is conducted to determine dentists’ professional quality...
