Thomas Methven: Does 3D Affect Gloss Perception?

When we look at a real surface, we see two types of disparity which
help us define what we're looking at. Both eyes get slightly different
views on the geometry, helping us see it in 3D. In addition, both eyes
see a slightly different pattern of gloss. How important are these two
types of disparity to the realism of the surface and how can we
manipulate them? In this talk, I will briefly cover my current PhD
work on this topic.

Pawel Orzechowski : Interactive mobile presentation of textiles.

While buying textile products using a handheld device, buyers face the perceptual gap between qualities they can perceive via the interface and those sensed when handling the real product. In this research I investigate the textile qualities naive shoppers look for and the gestures they use to handle fabrics. Finally, I use movement patterns to prototype mobile touch-screen interactive-video interfaces and communicate the desired qualities better.
