Design

• Designing Plush Toys with a Computer (CACM 2009)
  • Simulation-in-loop design for plush toys and balloons using simple sketch interface

Human User Interfaces

• ThinSight: A Thin Form-Factor Interactive Surface Technology (CACM 2009)
  • Thin multitouch screens based on IR transceivers

Image Manipulation

• Seam Carving for Media Retargeting (CACM 2009)
  • Applies dynamic programming and graph cuts to determine low energy seams in images and videos which can be safely removed or interpolated between to shrink or expand the media and change the aspect ratio without unduly affecting the content.
• Scene Completion Using Millions of Photographs (CACM 2008)
  • Completes photographs with missing components by extracting from photos taken from huge database of photos.

Visualization

• Voyagers and Voyeurs: Supporting Asynchronous Collaborative Visualization (CACM 2009)
  • Describes sense.us, a Web-based system for asynchronous, distributed, collaborative data investigation incorporating doubly-linked comments, annotations, view indexing, and several clever implementation details.
