Abstract: This course will address issues in designing and building
systems for interactive walkthroughs of large geometric datasets
including architectural buildings and mechanical CAD models like
submarines and power plants. Starting from an overview of interactive
walkthroughs, the course will cover the entire gamut of associated
technologies - model representations and taxonomy, database management
and prefetching, model simplification, rendering spline models and
collision detection.
We will also address a number of issues in implementing and integrating these techniques and applying them to real-world models. Finally, we will address issues in creating effective walkthrough illusions and discuss their applications. |
