Abstract

We describe an interaction free method for a geometric pre-positioning of virtual cloth patterns around human 3D-scans. Combined with the following physically-based sewing simulation a fully automated dressing of virtual humas becomes possible. This reduces the time needed for dressing virtual humans by eliminating the time needed for the interactive placement of the cloth patterns in previous methods, where the patterns have to be pre-positioned by user interaction. The result of your pre-positioning method is computed in less than 0.3 sec CPU time for various examples on current PCs and designed to converge efficiently in the simulation step afterwards.

Real-time tone mapping – An evaluation of color-accurate methods for luminance compression

Recent advances in real-time rendering enable virtual production pipelines in a broad range of industries. These pipelines are based on a fast, latency-free handling in addition to the accurate appearance of results. This requires the use of high dynamic range rendering for photo-realistic results and a tone mapping operator for a matched display.

Using MQTT for Platform Independent RemoteMixed Reality Collaboration

In this paper, we present a Mixed Reality telepresence system that allows the connection of multiple AR or VR devices to create a shared virtual environment by using the simple MQTT networking protocol. It follows a subscribe-publish pattern for reliable and easy platform independent integration. Therefore, it is possible to realize different clients that handle communication and allow remote collaboration. To allow embodied natural human interaction, the system maps the human interaction channels, gestures, gaze and speech, to an abstract stylized avatar by using an upper body inverse kinematic approach. This setup allows spatially separated persons to interact with each other via an avatar-mediated communication.
