While creativity is fundamental to both aspects, the latter can be bolstered with automated techniques. We present a first true SIMD formulation for the layout generation and leverage CUDA-enabled GPU to scan through millions of possible permutations and rank them on aesthetic appeal using weighted parameters such as symmetry, alignment, density, size balance, etc. The entire process happens in real-time using a GPU-accelerated implementation of replica exchange Monte Carlo Markov Chain method. The exploration of design space is rapidly narrowed by performing distant jumps from poorly ranked layouts, and fine tuning the highly ranked ones. Several iterations are carried out until desired rank or system convergence is achieved. In contrast to existing approaches, our technique generates aesthetically better layouts and runs more than two orders of magnitude faster.","PeriodicalId":216038,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2019 Posters","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130061616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has unveiled the possibilities of enhancing touch modalities by introducing visual feedback of the magnified touch image. Yet, most of the microscopes on the market require a complicated procedure to operate and this makes it difficult to move the felt/observed area. To address this, we introduce MagniFinger, a new finger-based microscope that allows users to magnify the contacting surface on their fingertips using two means of control: sliding and tilting. The tilting-based control enables a more precise movement under micro-environments. According to the results of our experiments, it shortens the time of reaching targets compared to the simple sliding-based control.","PeriodicalId":216038,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2019 Posters","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115983047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
