I am currently excused from my employment, to set up the spin off company Imagination. This means, I am doing no lectures any more. Nevertheless in special cases I am conducting praktika, diploma thesises or PhDs.

Courses

Research Work

As I am working currently full time for Imagination, I have reduced my research activities to only a few projects. Here ist the list of activities I have done so far.

 Virtual Environments

  • Motion prediction and time-constant rendering
  • User interface design for virtual environments
  • Levels of detail
  • Simulation and animation in an distributed environment
  • Design of specialized protocolls for distributed virtual environments
  • System design of distributed virtual environments
  • Augmented reality
  • Studierstube and PIP
  • Person Tracking

 Computer animation

  • Integrating a scripting language into an interactive animation system
  • Object-oriented animation design
  • Dynamics for simulation of motion of kinematic chains
  • Collision detection
  • Levels of detail for computer animation

 Natural Phenomenons

  • Cyclic CSG graphs - a geometric representation for iterative structures
  • Ray tracing of natural phenomenons with cyclic CSG graphs

 Realistic image rendering

  • Speed-Improvements for Ray tracing
  • Radiosity for CSG
  • Consistent schemes for adressing surfaces when ray tracing transparent CSG-objects
  • Octree-Quantization: A simple Method for color quantization
  • SOL - An object description language for CSG-objects

 Multimedia

  • Multimedia Teachware for a Computer Animation Course

 For more information see the research pages of the institute.
