We present some ideas and demonstrations for a hybrid projectorbased rendering and display technique we call Computer Graphics Optique. Instead of partially overlapping projected images to achieve a wide-area display, we completely overlap projected images on top of each other to achieve the addition of light and color in an “optical composition buffer.” The idea is to use the optical compositi...

Pyramid-based graphics techniques can provide realistic computer graphics on small systems without the complexities of physics simulations. Human beings have an intuitive feel for graphics. Graphics problems such as blending two images smoothly, interpolating to fill in missing image data, or creating realistic looking images are routinely solved by artists using traditional media. It i s much ...
