Proceedings ArticleDOI
The digital Michelangelo project: 3D scanning of large statues
Marc Levoy,Kari Pulli,Brian Curless,Szymon Rusinkiewicz,David Koller,Lucas Melchiori Pereira,Matthew David Ginzton,Sean E. Anderson,James Davis,Jeremy Ginsberg,Jonathan Shade,Duane Fulk +11 more
TL;DR: A hardware and software system for digitizing the shape and color of large fragile objects under non-laboratory conditions and the largest single dataset is of the David - 2 billion polygons and 7,000 color images.
Proceedings Article
Continuous level of detail rendering of height fields
TL;DR: In this article, a coarse level of simplification is performed to select discrete levels of detail for blocks of the surface mesh, followed by further simplification through repolygonalization in which individual mesh vertices are considered for removal.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Real-time, continuous level of detail rendering of height fields
Peter Lindstrom,David Koller,William Ribarsky,Larry F. Hodges,Nick L. Faust,Gregory A. Turner +5 more
TL;DR: An algorithm for real-time level of detail reduction and display of high-complexity polygonal surface data that has been implemented for approximating and rendering digital terrain models and other height fields, and consistently performs at interactive frame rates with high image quality.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Travel in immersive virtual environments: an evaluation of viewpoint motion control techniques
TL;DR: Results indicate that "pointing" techniques are advantageous relative to "gaze-directed" steering techniques for a relative motion task, and that motion techniques which instantly teleport users to new locations are correlated with increased user disorientation.

Virtual GIS: a real-time 3D geographic information system
David Koller,Peter Lindstrom,William Ribarsky,Larry F. Hodges,Nick L. Faust,Gregory B. Turner +5 more
TL;DR: The "Virtual GIS", a system with truly immersive capability for navigating and understanding complex and dynamic terrain-based databases, is developed, which provides the means for visualizing terrain models consisting of elevation and imagery data, along with GIS raster layers, protruding features, buildings, vehicles, and other objects.
