Conception d'un mannequin d'exposition sur mesure et dans une pose sportive, réalisé à l'aide des technologies 3D

Mottaz, Marie-Paule

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-Restauration, 2020.

The Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage possesses a very large collection of sportswear and costumes, but encounters various problems when displaying these artefacts. First of all, the morphologies of the athletes rarely correspond to standard mannequins. Secondly, the outfits are often incomplete, which makes it difficult to achieve a coherent visual appearance. The use of replicas or...

Oberflächenschutz von Kerisklingen : Eine vergelichende Untersuchung von modernen und traditionellen Beschichtigung

Meier, Janine

Mémoire de master : Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-Restauration, 2020.

This project compares different coatings for Keris blades, in the framework of the collaboration with the Museum der Kulturen Basel (MKB). The Keris blade collection of the MKB shows a wide variety of coatings, which are unique in that they are used for corrosion protection, but also for aesthetical and spiritual reasons. The objects, that arrived in different moments to the museum, have hardly...

Perception-aware computational fabrication : increasing the apparent gamut of digital fabrication

Piovarči, Michal ; Didyk, Piotr (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO015.

Haptic and visual feedback are important for assessing objects' quality and affordance. One of the benefits of additive manufacturing is that it enables the creation of objects with personalized tactile and visual properties. This personalization is realized by the ability to deposit functionally graded materials at microscopic resolution. However, faithfully reproducing real-world objects on a...

Fabrication-in-the-loop co-optimization of surfaces and styli for drawing haptics

Piovarči, Michal ; Kaufman, Danny M. ; Levin, David I. W. ; Didyk, Piotr

In: ACM transactions on graphics, 2020, vol. 39, no. 4, p. 16 p

Digital drawing tools are now standard in art and design workflows. These tools offer comfort, portability, and precision as well as native integration with digital-art workflows, software, and tools. At the same time, artists continue to work with long-standing, traditional drawing tools. One feature of traditional tools, well-appreciated by many artists and lacking in digital tools, is the...

Towards spatially varying gloss reproduction for 3D printing

Piovarči, Michal ; Foshey, Michael ; Babaei, Vahid ; Rusinkiewicz, Szymon ; Matusik, Wojciech ; Didyk, Piotr

In: ACM transactions on graphics, 2020, vol. 39, no. 6, p. 13 p

3D printing technology is a powerful tool for manufacturing complex shapes with high-quality textures. Gloss, next to color and shape, is one of the most salient visual aspects of an object. Unfortunately, printing a wide range of spatially-varying gloss properties using state-of-the-art 3D printers is challenging as it relies on geometrical modifications to achieve the desired appearance. A...

The digital birth of an African city : the case of Douala

Pucciarelli, Marta ; Cantoni, Lorenzo (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2019 ; 2019COM003.

This dissertation focuses on the online communication and representation of a digital city in Africa: Douala, the largest city of the Republic of Cameroon. In particular, it explores the evolution of the web-based reproduction (Couclelis, 2004) of Douala, the largest city of the Republic of Cameroon, from a chronological, spatial and representational perspective, with the purpose of...
