Awesome Animations

Welcome to a small sampling of the work our staff and students undertake. Some of what you will see is a result of our research, and some we have done just for fun. We hope you enjoy our small display!

Cosmological Simulation Visualisation Developed by: Paul Bourke(WASP, UWA) (Creator), Chris Fluke, Evan Hallein (Audio), Chris Power (Astrophysicist) Type: Apple Quicktime (130.4 Mb) Description: Large scale volume rendering of a cosmological N-body simulation. The projection is an angular fisheye intended for viewing inside a planetarium, originally created for ASTC (Association of Science Technology Centers) full dome show reel in 2005. Original sequence rendered at 3600 pixels square. 1700 views since 28-07-2006	Dancing Aibo Creator: Jonathan Wan Supervisor: Dr Wei Liu Type: MPEG Video (5.8 Mb) Description: This displays our school''s AIBO (Artificial Intelligence RoBOt). A team of 6 AIBO''s called the UWArriors will be trained for robot soccer competitions among other things. 4883 views since 30-06-2006	The Zyberflux Developed by: Onetwenty (Anthony Prior, James Strauss, Minh Tran, Jason C. Wong) + Adam Matera, Poya Manouchehri Supervisor: OneTwenty Type: video/x-msvideo (26.0 Mb) Description: Zyberflux is a little game project that the Onetwenty group created for the IZNullarbor game competition 2007 (and came second). Onetwenty is a group of PhD students mainly from UWA, and many were part of the 60hz real-time graphics research group. It was developed in linux with their own custom physics, animation and rendering systems, along with other libraries such as OpenGL, SDL and fmod(for sound) 1499 views since 12-04-2007
Planar surface interpolation Creator: Tzu Yen Wong Supervisors: Dr Peter Kovesi and Assoc Prof Amitava Datta Type: image/gif (2.2 Mb) Description: With a 2D photograph and some corner points as input, the algorithm works out the projective transformation relationship (homography), and interpolates the picture with correct perspective. No 3D model of the scene is required. 736 views since 29-06-2007	Shape Blending Creator: Tzu Yen Wong Supervisors: Dr Peter Kovesi and Assoc Prof Amitava Datta Type: image/gif (115.3 kb) Description: Shape change from Da vinci\''s Vitruvian Man to Coyote, using projective interpolation technique with quadrilaterals. Most shape blending techniques use large number of triangles to achieve similar effect. 660 views since 29-06-2007	Projective transformation Creator: Wong Tzu Yen Supervisors: Dr Peter Kovesi and Assoc Prof Amitava Datta Type: image/gif (343.4 kb) Description: Projective transformation describes what happens to the perceived positions of observed objects when the point of view of the observer changes. 1157 views since 29-06-2007
