In order to successfully commercialize mobile System on Chip (SoC), including ray tracing hardware solution, effective integration with rasterizer based on OpenGL---ES is indispensable for the performance and compatibility reason. Thus, recently, the traditional rasterizer-ray tracing hybrid approach is revisited to achieve this goal. The key factor for hybrid rendering is to reflect the fundamental principle of tile-based rendering on integrating the ray tracing hardware and mobile GPUs. Consequently, we propose a new architecture for hybrid rendering by combining new three features such as extended tile binning unit, tile prefetch, and per-tile power control. Simulation results show that our architecture is a potentially versatile solution for future mobile GPUs in low-energy devices because it provides as much as 31.7% better G-buffer bandwidth utilization and is up to 2.18 times better performance per unit energy compared to the ray tracing hardware-only solution.","PeriodicalId":328982,"journal":{"name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2015 Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128816690","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}

Our method is optimized for providing high fidelity augmented reality (AR) image-based environment recognition for mobile devices. Previous studies have shown that a pre-produced panorama image can be used to make AR tracking possible for mobile AR applications. However, there has been little research on determining the qualities of the source panorama image necessary for creating high fidelity AR experiences. Panorama image production can have various challenges that can result in inaccurate reproduction of images that do not allow correct virtual graphics to be registered in the AR scene. These challenges include using multiple angle photograph images that contain parallax error, nadir angle difficulty and limited dynamic range. For mobile AR, we developed a HDRI method that requires a single acquisition that extends the dynamic range from a digital negative. This approach that needs least acquisition time is to be used for multiple angles necessary for reconstructing accurately reproduced spherical panorama with sufficient luminance.","PeriodicalId":328982,"journal":{"name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2015 Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115719459","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}

SMASH is a system that provides sports experience of a person from a remote area to spectators at the stadium and television audience in real time. For example, in sports watching, the spectator, by holding the actuator build-in device in the hand, is able to feel the heartbeat of the athlete and the tactile sensation that the player has during a game like shooting a ball, steps, or smashing a shuttle. Sports watching experience using player view point with HMD is said to be the most close to the player, but it shuts the user from other spectators. By feeling the players sensation in the palm, the spectator is able to feel the player closer while enjoying sports watching with others and share their emotions. This system used with television broadcast and at stadium should bring different stage of synchronization with the athlete depending on the situation. In 2020, with the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic games, new system for sports watching are expected to emerge, using not only tactile information, but information system using extension of any of the human senses are expected to come out.","PeriodicalId":328982,"journal":{"name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2015 Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130317217","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}

To get an acceptable performance, we propose using tile-based approach for path rendering on mobile device. The design goal of our scheme has two folds: 1) Minimize memory I/O, 2) Minimize computation. Because our scheme effectively reduces memory I/O and computation simultaneously, we can get an acceptable high performance of path rendering on mobile device.","PeriodicalId":328982,"journal":{"name":"SIGGRAPH Asia 2015 Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121746106","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}
