Simplifying collaboration in co-located virtual environments using the active-passive approach (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Estrada, J. G., Springer, J. P., & Wright, H. Simplifying collaboration in co-located virtual environments using the active-passive approach. Presented at 2015 IEEE 2nd VR International Workshop on Collaborative Virtual Environments, 3DCVE 2015

The design and implementation of co-located immersive virtual environments with equal interaction possibilities for all participants is a complex topic. The main problem, on a fundamental technical level, is the difficulty of providing perspective-co...

An affordable surround-screen virtual reality display (2010)
Journal Article
Cruz-Neira, C., Reiners, D., & Springer, J. (2010). An affordable surround-screen virtual reality display. Journal of the Society for Information Display, 18(10), 836-843. https://doi.org/10.1889/JSID18.10.836

Building a projection-based virtual reality display is a time, cost, and resource intensive enterprise andmany details contribute to the final display quality. This is especially true for surround-screen displays wheremost of them are one-of-a-kind s... Read More about An affordable surround-screen virtual reality display.

Advanced multi-frame rate rendering techniques (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Springer, J. P., Lux, C., Reiners, D., & Froehlich, B. Advanced multi-frame rate rendering techniques. Presented at Proceedings - IEEE Virtual Reality

Multi-frame rate rendering is a parallel rendering technique that renders interactive parts of the scene on one graphics card while the rest of the scene is rendered asynchronously on a second graphics card. The resulting color and depth images of bo... Read More about Advanced multi-frame rate rendering techniques.

Improving Interaction Performance for Ray Tracing (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kurz, D., Lux, C., Springer, J., & Fröhlich, B. Improving Interaction Performance for Ray Tracing. Presented at Eurographics 2008

We have developed an approach for improving the performance of object manipulation in ray tracing systems.We assume that users alternate between navigating the scene and manipulating objects in the scene. We divide the scene in objects currently mani... Read More about Improving Interaction Performance for Ray Tracing.

Object-Capability Security in Virtual Environments (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Scheffler, M., Springer, J. P., & Froehlich, B. (2008, March). Object-Capability Security in Virtual Environments. Presented at 2008 IEEE Virtual Reality Conference

Access control is an important aspect of shared virtual environments.Resource access may not only depend on prior authorization, but alsoon context of usage such as distance or position in the scene graphhierarchy. In virtual worlds that allow user-c... Read More about Object-Capability Security in Virtual Environments.

From Single-Frame Rate to Multi-Frame Rate Systems
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Froehlich, B., & Springer, J. From Single-Frame Rate to Multi-Frame Rate Systems

System response and thus interactivity is strictly tied to the framerate in most virtual reality systems. For complex scenes either thevisual quality needs to be sacrificed (e. g. by using a lower level ofdetail) or the system becomes non-interactive...
