Occlusion-Free Conformal Lensing for Spatiotemporal Visualization in 3D Urban Analytics
Roberta Mota, Julio D. Silva, Fabio Miranda +3
The visualization of temporal data on urban buildings, such as shadows, noise, and solar potential, plays a critical role in the analysis of dynamic urban phenomena. However, in de…
3De Interactive Lenses for Visualization in Virtual Environments
Roberta C. R. Mota, Allan Rocha, Julio Daniel Silva +2
We present 3De lens, a technique for focus+context visualization of multi-geometry data. It fuses two categories of lenses (3D and Decal) to become a versatile lens for seamlessly…
On tangible user interfaces, humans and spatiality
Ehud Sharlin, Benjamin Watson, Yoshifumi Kitamura +2
Like the prehistoric twig and stone, tangible user interfaces (TUIs) are objects manipulated by humans. TUI success will depend on how well they exploit spatiality, the intuitive s…
A wireless, inexpensive optical tracker for the CAVE
Ehud Sharlin, Pablo Figueroa, Mark Green +1
CAVE displays offer many advantages over other virtual reality (VR) displays, including a large, unencumbering viewing space. Unfortunately, the typical tracking subsystems used wi…
Spatial tangible user interfaces for cognitive assessment and training
Ehud Sharlin, Yuichi Itoh, Benjamin Watson +4
This paper discusses Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) and their potential impact on cognitive assessment and cognitive training. We believe that TUIs, and particularly a subset that…
A tangible user interface for assessing cognitive mapping ability
Ehud Sharlin, Benjamin Watson, Steve Sutphen +3
Wayfinding, the ability to recall the environment and navigate through it, is an essential cognitive skill relied upon almost every day in a person's life. A crucial component of w…
Designing Reality-Based VR Interfaces for Geological Uncertainty
Roberta Mota, Ehud Sharlin, Usman Alim
Inherent uncertainty in geological data acquisition leads to the generation of large ensembles of equiprobable 3D reservoir models. Running computationally costly numerical flow si…
Virtual Reality Lensing for Surface Approximation in Feature-driven DVR
Roberta Mota, Ehud Sharlin, Usman Alim
We present a novel lens technique to support the identification of heterogeneous features in direct volume rendering (DVR) visualizations. In contrast to data-centric transfer func…
Spatially-Embedded Lens Visualization: A Design Space
Roberta Mota, Ehud Sharlin, Usman Alim
Lens visualization has been a prominent research area in the visualization community, fueled by the continuous need to mitigate visual clutter and occlusion resulting from the incr…
HapticLever: Kinematic Force Feedback using a 3D Pantograph
Marcus Friedel, Ehud Sharlin, Ryo Suzuki
HapticLever is a new kinematic approach for VR haptics which uses a 3D pantograph to stiffly render large-scale surfaces using small-scale proxies. The HapticLever approach does no…
A Comparison of Spatiotemporal Visualizations for 3D Urban Analytics
Roberta Mota, Nivan Ferreira, Julio Daniel Silva +6
Recent technological innovations have led to an increase in the availability of 3D urban data, such as shadow, noise, solar potential, and earthquake simulations. These spatiotempo…
