This book explores the methods needed for creating and manipulating HDR content. HDR is
a step change from traditional imaging; more closely matching what we see with our eyes. In …

Foveated rendering adapts the image synthesis process to the user's gaze. By exploiting the
human visual system's limitations, in particular in terms of reduced acuity in peripheral …

Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) displays crucially rely on stereoscopic rendering to
enable perceptually realistic user experiences. Yet, existing near-eye display systems …

Advances in computer graphics enable us to create digital images of astonishing complexity
and realism. However, processing resources are still a limiting factor. Hence, many costly …

The visual system constantly adapts to different luminance levels when viewing natural
scenes. The state of visual adaptation is the key parameter in many visual models. While the …

The perception of light is inherently different inside a virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality
(AR) simulation when compared to the real world. Conventional head-worn displays (HWDs) …

Using real time eye tracking, gaze-contingent displays can modify their content to represent
depth (eg, through additional depth cues) or to increase rendering performance (eg, by …

" View-dependent effects''have parameters that change with the user's view and are
rendered dynamically at runtime. They can be used to simulate physical phenomena such …

Eye tracking is a promising technology for human-computer interactions, which is however
rarely used in practical applications. We argue that the main drawback of the contemporary …

There exist many types of visual imagery that span a dynamic range that exceeds what
typical displays are able to capture. This implies that some information is lost, and requires …
