This paper presents an approach to deal with standard tasks of computer animations and robotics based on Conformal Geometric Algebra. We will show that this algebra is very well suitable for applications of all kind of robot manipulator kinematics, representation and visualization and object robot manipulation. Due to its geometric intuitiveness and simplicity Conformal Geometric Algebra appears to be a promising mathematical tool for building intelligent man-machine interfaces.

We propose a new routing graph, the restricted Delaunay graph (RDG), for mobile ad hoc networks. Combined with a node clustering algorithm, the RDG can be used as an underlying graph for geographic routing protocols. This graph has the following attractive properties: 1) it is planar;2) between any two graph nodes there exists a path whose length, whether measured in terms of topological or Euclidean distance, is only a constant times the minimum length possible;and 3) the graph can be maintained efficiently in a distributed manner when the nodes move around. Furthermore, each node only needs constant time to make routing decisions. We show by simulation that the RDG outperforms previously proposed routing graphs in the context of the Greedy perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) protocol. Finally, we investigate theoretical bounds on the quality of paths discovered using GPSR.

Water phenomena are some of the most visually spectacular effects found in nature. This paper presents an efficient hybrid method to model turbulent water such as fast flowing rivers and waterfalls with the intent that the model can be used as part of a larger environment or scene. The model presented uses hydrostatic theory to incorporate a 2D height field and a particle system to model respectively the main volume and spray of turbulent water. The user is able to submit any environment formed from spheres and panels making the solution very flexible and adaptable. A smooth representation of the water surface is obtained by fitting a uniform B-Spline surface to the height field. Foam, spray and other turbulent effects are represented by particles which are rendered as spheres or billboards. Our results show that the model provides a nearly realistic simulation of turbulent water and for simple scenes nearly interactive speeds are possible which compares favorably with alternative techniques. For non-interactive applications ray tracing can be used to obtain higher quality results.

The perception of a virtual environment depends on the user and the task the user is currently performing in that environment. Models of the human visual system can thus be exploited to significantly reduce computational time when rendering high fidelity images, without compromising the perceived visual quality. This paper considers how an image can be selectively rendered when a user is performing a visual task in an environment. In particular, we investigate to what level viewers fail to notice degradations in image quality, between nontask related areas and task related areas, when quality parameters such as image resolution, edge antialiasing and reflection and shadows are altered.
Our aim is to produce a tessellation of space into small voxels and, based on only a few tomographic projections of an object, assign to each voxel a label that indicates one of the components of interest constituting...

In this paper we present the blue-c application programming interface, a software toolkit for media-rich, collaborative, immersive virtual reality applications. The blue-c API provides easy to use interfaces to all blue-c technology, including immersive projection, live 3D video acquisition and streaming, audio, tracking, and gesture recognition. The integration of multimedia data, including 2D video, 3D video, and animation, into the scene graph is presented. We emphasize on our performance-optimized 3D video handling and rendering pipeline, which is capable of rendering 3D video inlays consisting of up to 30,000 fragments updated at 10 Hz in real-time, enabling remote users to meet inside our virtual environment.
