ABSTRACT
We introduce SATURNO, a shadow-pushing lamp that helps users to focus more on tasks at the desk environment. Hanged from the ceiling, the wide oval ring-shaped SATURNO detects the location information of the user's hand from infrared proximity sensors. When the user simply reach out the hand to the position that s/he wants to brighten up to diminish interrupting shadows, it gives more light to the part detected and reduces other lights that makes irritating shadows, which looks like a pushing shadows. The gentle un-touching interaction of managing the brightness of each lights and the overall shape design of SATURNO can support users' concentration, especially delicate working like drawing or taking notes.

Soft shadows from extended light sources with penumbra deep shadow maps
GI '05: Proceedings of Graphics Interface 2005This paper presents a new method of precomputing high-quality soft shadows that can be cast on a static scene as well as on dynamic objects added to that scene. The method efficiently merges the visibility computed from many shadow maps into a penumbra ...
8D display: a relightable glasses-free 3D display
ITS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM international conference on Interactive tabletops and surfacesmagine a display that behaves like a window. Glancing through it, viewers perceive a virtual 3D scene with correct parallax, without the need to wear glasses or track the user. Light that passes through the display correctly illuminates the virtual ...
Binary Space Partitioning Visibility Tree for Polygonal Light Rendering
SA '19: SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 Technical BriefsIn this paper, we present a method to render shadows for physically-based materials under polygonal light sources. Direct illumination calculation from a polygonal light source involves the triple product integral of the lighting, the bidirectional ...
