Information-Geometric Lenses for Multiple Foci+Contexts Interfaces

We present a new set of 2D/3D modeling and visualization techniques building upon recent information geometric works, with desirable properties like seamless multiple foci+contexts abilities, keeping of meaningful topological features and tangible shapes, excellent Euclidean approximation near the
focus.

We report on experiments on 2D and 3D interfaces.

MultiMosaic: Simultaneous Visualization of Multiple Images for Near and Far Viewers Using Image Mosaic and Saliency Map

This paper proposes an approach to show different images to near and far viewers by using an image mosaic method. By using a saliency map of each image, it became possible to provide acceptable visibility for both the far-image and the near-images.

The Shading Probe: Fast Appearance Acquisition for Mobile AR

We design a novel light probe and exploit its structure to permit an efficient reformulation of the rendering equation that is suitable for fast shading of embedded virtual objects in augmented reality. We also tailor the shading probe's structure to common lighting scenarios, while achieving practical performance on mobiles.

Motion Indexing of Different Emotional States using LMA Components

This paper addresses the motion indexing and classification problem. A variety of features that encode motion using LMA are used to extract motion qualities of acted dance performances. The importance of the features was evaluated using PCA; an SVM was introduced to classify movements with regards to the performer emotion.
