modeling of real-life systems, and real-time
rendering are interesting to me.
I have written ray tracers, 3D engines for PCs,
and user interfaces for a number of programs.
Currently, I do more systems engineering work
than graphics work, but I am very interested
in combining the two.

learn: I am interested in building a distributed system
for computing visibility for an interactive
computer graphics walkthrough application. The system will
consist of several server and client applications
to provide seamless acquisition and utilization
of remote services with little or no user
intervention.
In addition, algorithms will be developed to
distributively compute object-space visibility.
This type of visibility is closely related to
the aspect graph talk on April 8 (see:
http://graphics.lcs.mit.edu/~bmcutler/6.838.html
for more information).

learn: The two projects I am interested in are, in order of preference:
1. I would like to work with one other person to implement a 3-d
graphics game engine. Specifically, I will design a set of classes
which my partner can use to implement any kind of plot/content they
desire. This also includes doing any kind of visualization of these
underlying data structures. I am hoping that this appeals to someone
as a fun project and that they can find a way to work an aspect of
their research into it (e.g.: using this as a basis for a fast
raytracing implementation, doing sophisticated collision detetion,
implementing a radiosity model on top of it, etc...)
2. I am also interested in working out a visualization of the
primary (6.001) computer concepts. In particular, a dynamic
visualization of linked lists, recursive functions, environments,
perhaps implement a garbage-collection visualization. There are
a set of OpenInventor wrappers for scheme that allow you to construct
scene graphs which should allow the project to be quckly and
seamlessly combined with an existing scheme parser.

Experience: I've taken 6.837 (of course), information on my group's project
is at: http://www.mit.edu/people/karianne/dome.html I'm now
doing a UROP for Prof. Teller which is to make movies and pictures of the model
our 6.837 group made.
As a project, I'd sort of like something that could be used by non-graphics nuts.
One of my ideas was the visual representation of code, such as was mentioned in classs
one day, except for scheme so it could be used for 6.001 students.
Something that helped high school students vizualize physics could also be neat.

learn: 1. Ray tracing acceleration. I'm interested in
getting ray-traced effects to be computed in (near)
real-time for a fixed scene with one mobile object
and a mobile camera position/orientation. Based on
my project from 6.837, I believe this is possible
using techniques for identifying relevant rays,
reducing the number of rays needed, and finding
cases where techniques other than raytracing are
useful. We'd probably only want to tackle some
subset of this problem...
2. Find a good and fast way to polygonalize a
spline surface on the fly... or something like
that.

learn: My previous graphics experience is not extensive.
I took 6.837 last term, and my final project was
a TRON like game in Invetor.
As this implies, I am more interested in modeling
dynamic scenes than static ones. I am not that
hard-core of a math type, but I do enjoy data
structures and algorithms in a graphical context.
I am also more interested in applications of
computational geometry than the theory of
computational geometry intself.
I have a couple of ideas for projects, but am
pretty open to suggestion. The first is to create
a visualization of my embodied intelligence project,
which will be some sort of artificial life system.
The goal will be to maintain and visualize a
representation, as well as statistical information
about the system as it runs.
The second is that I would be interested in doing
something with single image random dot stereograms,
prehaps in the domain of animation.
