A Framework for Haptic Rendering of Large-Scale Virtual Environments A software framework for haptic rendering of large-scale virtual environments. A test application shows the framework in use.

Haptic Rendering of Interaction Between Textured Models A new algorithm to display haptic texture information resulting from the interaction between two textured objects. The algorithm computes contact forces using low-resolution geometric representations along with texture images.

Multi-Resolution Sound Rendering An approximation technique based on hierarchical stochastic sampling that allows sound rendering in highly complex acoustic environments (scenes containing a large number of sound sources).

Virtual Instrument Design and Animation Using 3D models to determine the desired sound quality from an instrument. The technique includes novel extensions to sound synthesis for animation and sound synthesis for computer music.
