GLOD is under preparation.
VDSlib: a public-domain view-dependent simplification and rendering library for
interactive rendering of very complex scenes. Available at
http://vdslibs.virginia.edu; includes a sample program integrated with the
OpenGL® rendering library. VDSlib has been downloaded and used both in
industry (e.g., Boeing, SRI International) as well as at universities (e.g.,
Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, British Columbia).
pfPortals: a public-domain visibility library compatible with SGI's IRIS
Performer® toolkit. Based on the "Portals and Mirrors" paper [Luebke 95] and
available at http://pfportals.cs.virginia.edu. Has been used and extended by
researchers and developers at SGI, MIT, Disney, and others.

HONORS AND Test of Time Award, ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics
AWARDS (2005).
National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2001-2006)
Department of Energy Early Career PI Award (2002-05)
UVA Teaching + Technology Initiative Fellowship (2001)
UVA University Teaching Fellowship (2000-01)
UVA Faculty Senate Teaching Initiative Award (1999)
UVA ACM Undergraduate Teaching Award (1998-99)
IBM Graduate Fellowship (1995-1997; twice renewed)
The Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics Test of Time Award was chosen to
honor the single paper from the first five years of the conference judged to have
had the most important, lasting impact on the field of interactive 3D computer
graphics. Papers were nominated by the I3D 2005 international program
committee and voted on by the program committee, conference attendees, and the
ACM SIGGRAPH 2005 program committee. The award was given to me and my
co-author Chris Georges (both of us graduate students at the time) for our 1995
paper Portals and Mirrors: Simple, Fast Evaluation of Potentially Visible Sets.
The nomination, made by Stephen Chenney at the University of Wisconsin, read
in part, "...There are few papers ever in graphics that present such a useful, simple
idea so important to real time environments. Possible to teach in an undergraduate
graphics class, yet a fundmental enabling technology for the most important
commercial applications of what we do."
The University Teaching Fellowship and the Teaching + Technology Fellowship
are year-long fellowships at UVA. These provided equipment, software, buyout,
and summer salary to support the design and offering of an interdisciplinary
course "3D Animation and Special Effects", taken by students from over a dozen
majors scattered across the entire University, and combining 3-D graphics, art,
film, music, and digital media.
MUSEUM The Virtual Monticello museum exhibit, produced in collaboration with
EXHIBITS researchers at the University of North Carolina, showcased computer graphics at
the major exhibition Jefferson's America & Napoleon's France: Commemorating
the Bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase at the New Orleans Museum of Art.
Visitors to the Museum peeked through virtual windows into Thomas Jefferson's
library, an extremely detailed computer model produced from the real-world
library with a laser-based 3D scanner. The computer model was brought to life
using polarized projection (similar to a 3D movie) and a magnetic tracker that
adjusted the image as the viewer moved, depicting what they would see through a
real window. The exhibition was visited by over 110,000 people from April 12-
August 31, 2003.

I took active leadership roles on this committee, spearheading our
department student recruiting web pages and leading an effort to
quantitatively analyze the effectiveness of numeric predictors of student
performance (e.g., GRE, GPA) to better guide the admissions process.

UNIVERSITY Chair and co-organizer, Virginia Visualization Group (2004-05)
SERVICE Working with Bernard Frischer, Director of the Institute for Advanced
Technology in the Humanities (IATH), I have organized a group of
University faculty interested in virtual reality and visualization. The goals
of the group are (1) to provide a forum for discussion, workshops, invited
speakers, and collaborative research projects; (2) to jointly design, run, and
use a 3D visualization theater funded by IATH; (3) to jointly develop, seek
funding for, and build other visualization facilities as necessary. In short,
the VVG is collaborative interdisciplinary initiative to enable sharing of
expensive resources (like visualization theaters and the staff to run them)
and to catalyze new efforts in research and teaching. The School of
Architecture School has agreed to host our visualization theater, for which
we are currently purchasing equipment, and to redesign one of their public
jury rooms for the theater.
