ABSTRACT
We introduce an input and output device that enables illumination, bi-directional data communication, and position sensing on a soft cloth. This "LightCloth" is woven from diffusive optical fibers. Sensor-emitter pairs attached to bundles of contiguous fibers enable bundle-specific light input and output. We developed a prototype system that allows full-color illumination and 8-bit data input by infrared signals.

LightCloth: senseable illuminating optical fiber cloth for creating interactive surfaces
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis paper introduces an input and output device that enables illumination, bi-directional data communication, and position sensing on a soft cloth. This "LightCloth" is woven from diffusive optical fibers. Since the fibers are arranged in parallel, the ...
A fast relighting engine for interactive cinematic lighting design
SIGGRAPH '00: Proceedings of the 27th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniquesWe present new techniques for interactive cinematic lighting design of complex scenes that use procedural shaders. Deep-framebuffers are used to store the geometric and optical information of the visible surfaces of an image. The geometric information ...
Complex Luminaires: Illumination and Appearance Rendering
Simulating a complex luminaire such as a chandelier is expensive and slow, even using state-of-the-art algorithms. A more practical alternative is to use precomputation to accelerate rendering. Prior approaches cached information on an aperture surface ...
