Footstep Navigation
Navigation is an essential ability of autonomous virtual characters. In this paper, we propose a detailed, biomechanically inspired model of how a character can move, outputting footsteps to an animation system.
Scalable Virtual Environments
Intel researchers invented a new software architecture called the Distributed Scene Graph (DSG). This architecture enables massive scaling of the number of participants and the complexity of scenes. Source code is available.
Towards Real-Time Path Tracing in Games
Path tracing manages to capture almost all physical phenomena including indirect lighting and caustics in a single algorithm. We show that by applying algorithms borrowed from advances in ray tracing path tracing in real-time on consumer hardware is near.
OpenSimulator Virtual World Server Case Study (part 2)
Use of virtual worlds for training, entertainment, and collaboration is growing. Intel Labs has been researching the scalability of virtual worlds. This series explores some of the design, performance, and execution features of virtual world servers.

Pourya Shirazian, University of Victoria, BC, Canada. At UVIC, Pourya is a PHD student in Computer Science under the supervision of Dr.Brian Wyvill. His main research interests are implicit modeling and visualization of deformable models.
Interactive Geometric Sound Propagation and Rendering
This white paper describes a novel algorithm for sound propagation and rendering in virtual environments and media applications using geometric propagation techniques for fast computation of propagation paths.
Ticker Tape: A Scalable 3D Particle System with Wind and Air Resistance
In this first of a three-part series, we discuss our approach to simulating 3D particle behavior and the modular design we used. Additionally, we look into the performance gains achieved through through threading and the use of Intel® SSE.
