Frostbite 2 engine real-time radiosity - SIGGRAPH 2010
A presentation by Per Einarsson from DICE and Sam Martin from Geomarics. The presentation focuses on the implementation and use of Enlighten, a middleware toolkit for computing real-time radiosity from Geomarics. It demonstrates how the technology is used by its integration into the Frostbite 2 game engine. It demonstrates how the workflow, content pipelines and run-time systems are greatly increased with the help of Enlighten to achieve real-time radiosity for use in video games.

Holographic display from SIGGRAPH
More optical illusions were offered up by a 3D wide-screen display called Holovizio, which creates giant images resembling holograms. But instead of using lasers, 64 digital projectors are arranged behind the screen, and are programmed to illuminate it together, in order to build up the 3D image. The effect works across a broader range of angles than a conventional hologram, allowing several people to view it at once. A hand-tracking system also lets viewers interact with the display, turning the image upside down or back-to-front.

Deforming Meshes that Split and Merge, SIGGRAPH 2009
We present a method for accurately tracking the moving surface of deformable materials in a manner that gracefully handles topological changes.We employ a Lagrangian surface tracking method, and we use a triangle mesh for our surface representation so that fine features can be retained. We make topological changes to the mesh by first identifying merging or splitting events at a particular grid resolution, and then locally creating new pieces of the mesh in the affected cells using a standard isosurface creation method.We stitch the new, topologically simplified portion of the mesh to the rest of the mesh at the cell boundaries. Our method detects and treats topological events with an emphasis on the preservation of detailed features, while simultaneously simplifying those portions of the material that are not visible. Our surface tracker is not tied to a particular method for simulating deformable materials. In particular, we show results from two significantly different simulators: a Lagrangian FEM simulator with tetrahedral elements, and an Eulerian grid-based fluid simulator. Although our surface tracking method is generic, it is particularly well-suited for simulations that exhibit fine surface details and numerous topological events. Highlights of our results include merging of viscoplastic materials with complex geometry, a taffy-pulling animation with many fold and merge events, and stretching and slicing of stiff plastic material.
Sony to demo 360º display at Siggraph 2010
Next week at Siggraph in LA, Sony will be demonstrating the prototype of a new 360º Autostereoscopic display. The display allows you to view full colour volumetric objects from all angles, as if objects really exist. The display uses special LED light forces and can show 360 unique images to all directions in 1º separations. And no special 3D glasses are required to see the image!

The Acroban Humanoid, Siggraph 2010 Emerging Technologies
Acroban is a lightweight compliant humanoïd robot. It is capable of semi-passive dynamic movement, including semi-passive dynamic walking. Equipped with a multi-articulated vertebral column, its bio-inspired design relies heavily on the use of adequate morphology and materials for robustness and adaptivity to external perturbations. This allows not only for advanced motor skills, but also affords a new kind of physical human-robot interaction which is made possible by the ability of the human to modify the state (joint positions) of the robot by a direct physical manipulation, thanks to compliance. In this way, joints become the interface between the robot and the human: They make possible the exchange of analogical information. Interestingly, the motors, material, and electronics of Acroban are all low-cost. This allows us to show that it is actually possible to build such robust compliant motor skills and generate original life-like movements with basic affordable components if they are adequately chosen, combined and controlled. Furthermore, Acroban provokes spontaneous highly positive emotional reactions, especially in children. Yet, as opposed to many other robots, its morphology is neither roundish nor cute. He has no big eyes. He is just made of metal, and its appearance shows it explicitly. At first glance, its visual appearance creates low expectation of intelligence and life-likeness. But when it begins to move and one can touch it, its natural dynamics, much <b>...</b>

this is a brief video showing the eink flexible grayscale reflective display at siggraph 2007 in san diego. the display uses electronic ink, consisting of microscopic two-tone spheres that are polarized so that a current can flip them from white to black. when the screen receives no power, it keeps the last image it had displayed for several months. the display works in sunlight since it is reflective, and the new generation of thin-film transistors used to drive the display is thin and flexible enough for the screen to be rolled up around a thin rod. leo.media.mit.edu

Realtime Performance-Based Facial Animation (SIGGRAPH 2011)
SIGGRAPH 2011 Paper Video: This paper presents a system for performance-based character animation that enables any user to control the facial expressions of a digital avatar in realtime. The user is recorded in a natural environment using a non-intrusive, commercially available 3D sensor. The simplicity of this acquisition device comes at the cost of high noise levels in the acquired data. To effectively map low-quality 2D images and 3D depth maps to realistic facial expressions, we introduce a novel face tracking algorithm that combines geometry and texture registration with pre-recorded animation priors in a single optimization. Formulated as a maximum a posteriori estimation in a reduced parameter space, our method implicitly exploits temporal coherence to stabilize the tracking. We demonstrate that accurate 3D facial dynamics can be reconstructed in realtime without the use of face markers, intrusive lighting, or complex scanning hardware. This makes our system easy to deploy and facilitates a range of new applications, eg in digital gameplay or social interactions.

Emerging Images (SIGGRAPH Asia 2009)
Emergence refers to the unique human ability to aggregate information from seemingly meaningless pieces, and to perceive a whole that is meaningful. This special skill of humans can constitute an effective scheme to tell humans and machines apart.
VolumeBreaker - Siggraph 2009 demo
One of my demos of VolumeBreaker from Siggraph 2009. Things that I didn't mention during the demo are; - VolumeBreaker is fully multi-threaded, it's totally scalable to the number of processors you have. So, 4 processors will be 4x as fast 1 processor - The VB gizmo can be non-uniformally scaled to create wood like splinters (I'll upload a video showing that soon).
