    GLMixer

    GLMixer

    Graphic Live Mixer

    GLMixer performs real time graphical blending of several movie clips and of computer generated graphics. Drop video files in the mixing workspace and place them in a circular area to change their opacity ; if you selects two videos, moving them together performs a fading transition. This principle generalizes to a large number of videos. Direct interaction with the video allows to be fast and reactive, and to move and deform them on screen. The output of your operations is shown in the output window, typically displayed in full-screen on an external monitor or a projector. But the output can also be saved as a video file. Control GLMixer through network using OpenSoundControl, and generate graphics with ShaderToy GLSL code. Download : https://sourceforge.net/projects/glmixer/files/ Please note GLMixer is discontinued and superseded by vimix https://brunoherbelin.github.io/vimix/

    gVirtualXRay

    gVirtualXRay

    Virtual X-Ray Imaging Library on GPU

    gVirtualXRay is a C++ library to simulate X-ray imaging. It is based on the Beer-Lambert law to compute the absorption of light (i.e. photons) by 3D objects (here polygon meshes). It is implemented on the graphics processing unit (GPU) using the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL). SimpleGVXR is a smaller library build on the top of gVirtualXRay. It provides wrappers to Python, R, Ruby, Tcl, C#, Java, and GNU Octave.

    Replica Dataset

    Replica Dataset

    The Replica Dataset v1 as published in arxiv.org/abs/1906.05797

    Replica Dataset is a high-quality 3D dataset of realistic indoor environments designed to advance research in computer vision, robotics, and embodied AI. Developed by Facebook Research (now Meta AI), it features accurate geometric reconstructions, high-resolution and high dynamic range textures, and comprehensive semantic annotations. Each environment contains detailed models of real-world spaces, including rooms, furniture, glass, and mirror surfaces. The dataset also provides semantic and instance segmentations, planar decomposition, and navigation meshes, making it highly suitable for simulation, visual perception, and autonomous navigation tasks. Replica integrates seamlessly with AI Habitat, Meta’s framework for embodied AI training, enabling large-scale agent simulation and photorealistic rendering for reinforcement learning and robotics. Researchers can use Replica’s ReplicaViewer to interactively explore the 3D scenes.

    SmoothLife

    SmoothLife

    A generalization of Conway's Game of Life

    Conway's Game of Life is generalized to a continuous domain. OpenGL and GLSL shaders are used for real-time 2D and 3D graphics. Time stepping is done via a real to complex FFT based convolution operation. There are also two deliberately simple test implementations in FreeBasic and Matlab. A 2D version on a sphere shows that it is really not dependent on the underlying grid.
