3D meshes are commonly used to represent virtual surface and volumes. However, their raw
data representations take a large amount of space. Hence, 3D mesh compression has been …

Three-dimensional (3D) meshes have been widely used in graphic applications for the
representation of 3D objects. They often require a huge amount of data for storage and/or …

We have recently seen tremendous progress in the neural advances for photo-real human
modeling and rendering. However, it's still challenging to integrate them into an existing …

To look human, digital full-body avatars need to have soft-tissue deformations like those of
real people. We learn a model of soft-tissue deformations from examples using a high …

This paper addresses the problem of compression of 3D point cloud sequences that are
characterized by moving 3D positions and color attributes. As temporally successive point …

We present a novel lossy compression approach for point cloud streams which exploits
spatial and temporal redundancy within the point data. Our proposed compression …

Since the first edition of this book in 2007, there has been a fast evolution in Virtual Reality.
Palmer Luckey designed a prototype for what would become the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality …

Interactive environments for dynamically deforming objects play an important role in surgery
simulation and entertainment technology. These environments require fast deformable …

Research into the methods and techniques used in simulating crowds has developed
extensively within the last few years, particularly in the areas of video games and film …

We extend approaches for skinning characters to the general setting of skinning deformable
mesh animations. We provide an automatic algorithm for generating progressive skinning …
