Immersive High Quality Communication

Through high quality, practically-oriented political economy research and communication activities, our research has informed reform agendas and policy debates on tax reforms in

Unlike real reality (the actual world in which we live), virtual reality means simulating bits of our world (or completely imaginary worlds) using high-performance computers

Our method integrates four key components to provide real- time feedback and high quality rendering approximating the traditional illustration technique of contextual close-up: (a)

Immersive virtual reality systems such as CAVEs and head-mounted displays offer a unique shared environment for collaborations unavailable in the real world.. Virtual environments

Displaying large crowds of high quality virtual characters with deformable clothing is not possible in real-time at present because of the cost of rendering the thousands of

A set of questionnaires was used to measure the sense of presence, perception of realism, and the rate of interpretation of virtual objects as real ones, with both global and
