Three examples of the reddening effect: At grazing incident and viewing angles (right side) the reflectance spectrum linearly increases towards long wavelengths.

Abstract

The simulation of light-matter interaction is a major challenge in computer graphics. Particularly challenging is the modelling of light-matter interaction of rough surfaces, which contain several different scales of roughness where many different scattering phenomena take place. There are still appearance critical phenomena that are weakly approximated or even not included at all by current BRDF models. One of these phenomena is the reddening effect, which describes a tilting of the reflectance spectra towards long wavelengths especially in the specular reflection. The observation that the reddening effect takes place on rough surfaces is new and the characteristics and source of the reddening effect have not been thoroughly researched and explained. Furthermore, it was not even clear whether the reddening really exists or the observed effect resulted from measurement errors. In this work we give a short introduction to the reddening effect and show that it is indeed a property of the material reflectance function, and does not originate from measurement errors or optical aberrations.

An Evaluation of Smartphone-Based Interaction in AR for Constrained Object Manipulation

In Augmented Reality, interaction with the environment can be achieved with a number of different approaches. In current systems, the most common are hand and gesture inputs. However experimental applications also integrated smartphones as intuitive interaction devices and demonstrated great potential for different tasks. One particular task is constrained object manipulation, for which we conducted a user study. In it we compared standard gesture-based approaches with a touch-based interaction via smartphone. We found that a touch-based interface is significantly more efficient, although gestures are being subjectively more accepted. From these results we draw conclusions on how smartphones can be used to realize modern interfaces in AR.

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.

Interaktive 3D Visualisierung

Inzwischen ermöglichen neue Algorithmen und hoch entwickelte GPUs das Rendering mit physikalisch basierten Modellen, wodurch die Darstellungsqualität realistisch geworden ist. Gleichzeitig kann die Geometrie mittels Echtzeitsimulation dynamisch verformt werden, so dass der Anwender sich nicht nur in der 3D Szene interaktiv bewegen, sondern diese auch sofort verändern kann.
