Nothing here is in a submissible state -- if it were I'd be submitting it :-). But it should be fleshed out enough for you to see the thrust of my work. I hope you find it as interesting as I do. -- Steve

Maturing work

• Web-Based Distributed Rendering in Java
• A Toolbox for Procedural Solid Texturing with the EDGE Library

Nascent work

• Spoken language
  • Text-to-speech in the Wolof language
  • Displaying Wolof on the Web
  • Extending the auditory features of ECSS to other languages
• Rendering from photographs
  • Volume rendering from medical photographs (see more below)
  • Deprojecting a solid object from two-dimensional views
  • Texture mapping onto same

The big project

I'm doing volume rendering based on the Visible Human data set. Plenty of people are. But what I'm doing differently is working with the photographic data, not the tomography or magnetic resonance data. This isn't image-based volume rendering as such, either. Stay tuned for progress.

My research group

I work in the Graphics, Animation and Visualization Lab with Dr. David Ebert. I am working on our Interactive Stereoscopic Information Visualization system.
