Aurora Visualization for "Cosmic Collisions" (collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, 2005-2006). A 100 second fly-thru animation of the aurora was produced for the Hayden Planetarium. The aurora was derived from an observed aurora sub-storm and re-created using an octtree-based volume dataset (30+TB of data was generated) and rendered using a custom perspective-view volume renderer. A sequence from the final show containing the aurora was shown in the Animation Theater at Siggraph 2007.

Orion Nebula Fly-Through (collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, 1998-1999). A 2 1/2 minute fly-through animation of the Orion Nebula was produced for the Hayden Planetarium's daily show. The planetarium dome's new digital projection system contained 7 1280x1024 projectors and required over 31,000 images (40 billion pixels) for the sequence. The nebula was modeled as a discrete volume along with 85 separate proplyds and shock fronts. My responsibility was to develop a multi-volume renderer to render multiple independent volume data sets (each with its own spatial extent, resolution and voxel content). A second fly-through, developed for "flat walls," was shown in the Electronic Theater at Siggraph 2000. See http://vis.sdsc.edu/research/orion.html for more details.

High Resolution Medical Imaging on a Cray T3D/E (sponsored by Cray Research, Inc., 1994-1997). This research focused primarily on the design, implementation, and performance issues involved in the creation of several parallel volume rendering engines on the Cray T3D and T3E. Interfaces developed using the visualization package AVS and JAVA allowed users to control these parallel rendering engines from ordinary workstations. See http://MPIRE.sdsc.edu for more details.

Image Synthesis with Adaptive Cone Tracing (Ph.D. Thesis, 1991-1993). A new method called adaptive cone tracing, which is based on adaptive super sampling and cone tracing, is introduced to enhance the realism of ray traced images. This technique reduces spatial aliasing from the edges of objects, models accurate distributed light sources and computes fuzzy (or de-focused) reflections. The implementation, called the RayMan renderer, was used to render several images along with an animation (a short mpg clip (830K) is available) created using the Wavefront Visualizer.
