| | Virtually Playing Catch |
| Description:
A great difficulty of interacting in a virtual reality environment is that the physical actions are usually not as natural as we are used to in the real world. In this project we will attempt challenge this problem and create a virtual environment where two users can throw virtual objects one to the other. The system will consist of two pairs of virtual reality glasses and an external Kinect camera. Using the camera which can analyze the motions of the players, we will send the information to the virtual world and translate it into the physical motions controlling the propelling of objects. The goal will be that the action is as smooth and natural as it is in the real world.

What makes pixel art both compelling and difficult is the limitations imposed on the medium. With a significantly limited palette and resolution to work with, the task of creating pixel art becomes one of carefully choosing the set of colors and placing each pixel such that the final image best depicts the original subject. This task is particularly difficult as pixel art is typically viewed at a distance where the pixel grid is clearly visible, which has been shown to contribute to the perception of the image.

| Description:
Shape deformation is a common practice in digital image editing,
but can unrealistically stretch or compress texture detail. We propose an image editing system that decouples feature position from pixel color generation,
by resynthesizing texture from the source image to preserve its detail and orientation around a new feature curve location.
