A realistically inserted virtual object in the real-time physical environment is a desirable
feature in augmented reality (AR) applications and mixed reality (MR) in general. This …

BACKGROUND: Understanding the microsurgical neuroanatomy of the brain is challenging
yet crucial for safe and effective surgery. Training on human cadavers provides an …

State-of-the-art methods for diminished reality propagate pixel information from a keyframe
to subsequent frames for real-time inpainting. However, these approaches produce artifacts …

Augmented Reality offers many applications today, especially on mobile devices. Due to the
lack of mobile hardware for illumination measurements, photorealistic rendering with …

Corresponding lighting and reflectance between real and virtual objects is important for
spatial presence in augmented and mixed reality (AR and MR) applications. We present a …

Currently, ray tracing and image-based lighting (IBL) have shortcomings when rendering the
metallic virtual object displayed in the holographic pyramid in mixed reality. Ray tracing can …

Current augmented and mixed reality systems suffer a lack of correct illumination modeling
where the virtual objects render the same lighting condition as the real environment. While …

When rendering virtual objects in a mixed reality application, it is helpful to have access to
an environment map that captures the appearance of the scene from the perspective of the …

Most augmented/mixed reality (AR/MR) applications still have shortcomings when
integrating virtual objects correctly in real scenes such that virtual objects are …

Visual coherence between real and virtual objects is important in mixed reality (MR), and
illumination consistency is one of the key aspects to achieve coherence. Apart from …
