• Bringing Point Clouds to WebGPU
    Markus Schütz — -

    Potree ist ein seit 2012 entwickelter Open-Source Punktwolkenviewer für Web Browser, der von zahlreichen Instituten und Firmen zur Visualisierung von 3D Scandaten verwendet wird. Mithilfe von Netidee wollen wir eine WebGPU-basierte Neuauflage schaffen die modernen Anforderungen genügt. Das Projekt richtet sich an Personen die massive Punktwolkendaten schnell und einfach über Browser ihren Benutzern darstellen wollen.

  • Instant Visualization and Interaction for Large Point Clouds
    Eduard Gröller — -

    Point clouds are a quintessential 3D geometry representation format, and often the first model obtained from reconstructive efforts, such as LIDAR scans. IVILPC aims for fast, authentic, interactive, and high-quality processing of such point-based data sets. Our project explores high-performance software rendering routines for various point-based primitives, such as point sprites, gaussian splats, surfels, and particle systems.

  • Superhumans - Walking Through Walls
    Stefan Ohrhallinger — -

    In recent years, virtual and augmented reality have gained widespread attention because of newly developed head-mounted displays. For the first time, mass-market penetration seems plausible. Also, range sensors are on the verge of being integrated into smartphones, evidenced by prototypes such as the Google Tango device, making ubiquitous on-line acquisition of 3D data a possibility. The combination of these two technologies – displays and sensors – promises applications where users can directly be immersed into an experience of 3D data that was just captured live.
