High Visual-Quality Scenes in Low-Cost Virtual Reality With Collisions and Irregular Surfaces.

Mobile phones offer an excellent low-cost alternative for Virtual Reality. However, the hardware constraints of these devices restrict the displayable visual complexity of graphics. Image-based rendering techniques arise as an alternative to solve this problem, but usually, the support of collisions and irregular surfaces (i.

The Spinel Explorer--Interactive Visual Analysis of Spinel Group Minerals.

Geologists usually deal with rocks that are up to several thousand million years old. They try to reconstruct the tectonic settings where these rocks were formed and the history of events that affected them through the geological time. The spinel group minerals provide useful information regarding the geological environment in which the host rocks were formed.
