UPDATE: I have created a video example showcasing the real-time implementation. Last year we published a paper at the Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST ’13) conference on the topic of color correction for see-through displays. The paper proposes a solution to color blending, which is the phenomenon where colors in transparent displays look “washed-out”; i.e. the … [Read more…]
My previous post shows examples of color correction for two images (IronMan and a Rhino) over different backgrounds. I have been asked whether color correction can run in real-time and thus we’ve created a video showcasing just that: real-time color correction. As you can see we can turn it on and off, and achieve acceptable … [Read more…]

Given our current work with the Winnipeg Art Gallery on interactive cases for Inuit Art, we sent a short paper describing the design framework we are using to design such cases. Unfortunately, none of the authors could travel to … [Read more…]

And that’s no small problem. Known as the gorilla arm effect, this phenomenon was one … [Read more…]
This is certainly one of the most beautiful data visualizations I ever encountered. It combines a lot of things I like like flying, traveling, and geography. Most importantly, it shows patterns in air travel (like the sky highways) that we know exist, but we never really see. March 31, 2014 in Information Vizualization, Interaction Design. … [Read more…]
