We present the potential of computational intelligence to empower authors and content creators in creating their own interactive animated stories.

A 144 fps transparent LCD panel is used in conjunction with a transparent backlight, controllably diffusive smartglass screen, and optional switching background lighting

The Switching Dual Layer Display with a Dynamic LCD Mask is a multi-layer three-dimensional display capable of independent layer content and occlusion between layers.

We use a transparent LCD panel as a programmable dynamic mask.

We design and demonstrate a four-lens folded optical cloak and a three-lens inverted cloak with an erecting prism.

We introduce a miniaturized active stabilization mechanism that attenuates such disturbances and keeps the camera steady.

In this paper, we use KUKA’s Fast Robot Interface (FRI) to design and implement a tracking controller on the Lightweight Robot (LBR) IIWA.

We propose an end-to-end solution for presenting movie quality animated graphics to the user while still allowing the sense of presence afforded by free viewpoint head motion.
