ABSTRACT
Shadows are an important factor in the perception of object position and shape. In this study, we investigated the effect of shadows on the perception of the shape of a mid-air image by projecting shadows of different shapes onto a mid-air image that is displayed in real space. Specifically, participants viewed one oval cylinder with a shadow and one oval cylinder without a shadow individually and were forced to choose which had the greater thickness in the depth direction. As a result, we found that shadow shapes possibly changed the perception of the thickness of the mid-air image.

Soft shadows from extended light sources with penumbra deep shadow maps
GI '05: Proceedings of Graphics Interface 2005This paper presents a new method of precomputing high-quality soft shadows that can be cast on a static scene as well as on dynamic objects added to that scene. The method efficiently merges the visibility computed from many shadow maps into a penumbra ...
Rendering Optimal Solar Shadows Using Plural Sunlight Depth Buffers

Cos Θ shadows: an integrated model for direct illumination, subsurface scattering and shadow computation
SIGGRAPH '17: ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 PostersIn this work, we present an integrated model that can provide direct illumination, subsurface scattering and soft shadow effects in a single equation. We have implemented our model to render bas-reliefs, which are the shapes that are defined as height ...
