Result:Users consider non-physical reflections plausible forsignificant and meaningful edits.

Interactive Reflection Editing (Ritschel et al.)

FUTURE WORK

Problem: Can do unpleasant and unrealistic editsSolution: Restrict to pleasant and realistic edits. How?

Problem: Bending rays is not possibleSolution: Allow it. Mostly a UI problem.

Problem: Limitation to reflectionsSolution: Try for other phenomena such as shadows, bounces, or caustics

Interactive Reflection Editing (Ritschel et al.)

CONCLUSION

You saw a system, that …… allows to edit rendered reflections as artists did for centuries.… is easy to use and implement and runs in real-time.… was evaluated in a user-study.

You can test it at the Digital Bazaar A60
