Abstract

The world is becoming more malleable by the day, with new tools, applications, and methods to create, craft, build, and share. At SIGGRAPH 2015, the Studio focuses on disruptive practices in the world of content creation. Along with a renewed emphasis on technology, it presents projects from alternative fields that utilize and build new foundations in computer graphics - particularly those that extend beyond traditional screens and into the physical world - including themed entertainment, location-based installations, projection mapping, and advancements in augmented and virtual reality.

Interactive robogami: data-driven design for 3D print and fold robots with ground locomotion

The process of designing and programming a new robot requires expert knowledge and design skills that are often acquired over the course of many years. This makes design of new robots difficult for non-experienced users. In addition to design, physical ...

Design machines

Hardware and software are disjoint in their representations, their production methods, and their validation. Machine design, machine building, and machine control have historically taken place separately, and correspondingly, machine tools are not well ...

PaperPulse: an integrated approach for embedding electronics in paper designs

We present PaperPulse, a design and fabrication approach that enables designers without a technical background to produce standalone interactive paper artifacts by augmenting them with electronics. With PaperPulse designers overlay pre-designed visual ...

Chinese ink and brush painting with reflections

In this work, we have developed an approach to include global illumination effects into Chinese Paintings (see Figure 1). Our method provides a robust approach to represent tone and value in a way similar to how Chinese Ink-and-Brush is painted. The ...

FrameShift: shift your attention, shift the story

Attention is a limited resource that intrinsically dictates our perceptions, memories, and behaviors. Further, visuospatial attention correlates highly with user engagement, heart rate, and arousal [El-Nasr et al. 2010]. Artists and interactive game ...

Art directed rendering & shading using control images

In this work, we present a simple mathematical approach to art directed shader development. We have tested this approach over two semesters in an introductory level graduate rendering & shading class at Texas A&M University. The students in the class ...

Keeping it real: the making of Lumino City

State of Play Games are known for making games by hand. They demonstrate the unique benefits of using physical models in their games and explain some of the technical challenges they faced along the way.

The process makes the games's aesthetic unique ...

Polarized 3D: synthesis of polarization and depth cues for enhanced 3D sensing

Coarse depth maps can be enhanced by using the shape information from polarization cues. We propose a fusion of polarization and depth, a synergistic technique to exploit the high lateral resolution and compensate for the low depth resolution of ...

Mirror mirror: an on-body clothing design system

When choosing what to wear, people often use mirrors to try clothing items and see the fit on their body. What if we can not only evaluate items in front of the mirror but also design items and have them fabricated on the spot?
