In particular, we focus on permutation synchronization which involves solving a non-convex optimization problem in discrete variables. We start by formulating synchronization into a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problem (QUBO). While such formulation respects the binary nature of the problem, ensuring that the result is a set of permutations requires extra care. Hence, we: (i) show how to insert permutation constraints into a QUBO problem and (ii) solve the constrained QUBO problem on the current generation of the adiabatic quantum computers D-Wave. Thanks to the quantum annealing, we guarantee global optimality with high probability while sampling the energy landscape to yield confidence estimates. Our proof-of-concepts realization on the adiabatic D-Wave computer demonstrates that quantum machines offer a promising way to solve the prevalent yet difficult synchronization problems. %K Quantum Physics, quant-ph,Computer Science, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, cs.CV,cs.ET,Computer Science, Learning, cs.LG,Computer Science, Robotics, cs.RO

Entertainment, training, design and manufacturing, communication, or advertising are all applications that already benefit from this new medium reaching consumer level. VR is inherently different from traditional media: it offers a more immersive experience, and has the ability to elicit a sense of presence through the place and plausibility illusions. It also gives the user unprecedented capabilities to explore their environment, in contrast with traditional media. In VR, like in the real world, users integrate the multimodal sensory information they receive to create a unified perception of the virtual world. Therefore, the sensory cues that are available in a virtual environment can be leveraged to enhance the final experience. This may include increasing realism, or the sense of presence; predicting or guiding the attention of the user through the experience; or increasing their performance if the experience involves the completion of certain tasks. In this state-of-the-art report, we survey the body of work addressing multimodality in virtual reality, its role and benefits in the final user experience. The works here reviewed thus encompass several fields of research, including computer graphics, human computer interaction, or psychology and perception. Additionally, we give an overview of different applications that leverage multimodal input in areas such as medicine, training and education, or entertainment; we include works in which the integration of multiple sensory information yields significant improvements, demonstrating how multimodality can play a fundamental role in the way VR systems are designed, and VR experiences created and consumed. %K Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, cs.HC,Computer Science, Graphics, cs.GR

To address these challenges, we propose a new method for neural re-rendering of a human under a novel user-defined pose and viewpoint, given one input image. Our algorithm represents body pose and shape as a parametric mesh which can be reconstructed from a single image and easily reposed. Instead of a colour-based UV texture map, our approach further employs a learned high-dimensional UV feature map to encode appearance. This rich implicit representation captures detailed appearance variation across poses, viewpoints, person identities and clothing styles better than learned colour texture maps. The body model with the rendered feature maps is fed through a neural image-translation network that creates the final rendered colour image. The above components are combined in an end-to-end-trained neural network architecture that takes as input a source person image, and images of the parametric body model in the source pose and desired target pose. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that our approach produces higher quality single image re-rendering results than existing methods. %K Computer Science, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, cs.CV

While often one-dimensional strip plots are used to depict such data, one of their main problems is visual clutter which results from overlap. To reduce this overlap, jitter plots were introduced, whereby an additional, non-encoding plot dimension is introduced, along which the data point representing dots are randomly perturbed. Unfortunately, this randomness can suggest non-existent clusters, and often leads to visually unappealing plots, in which overlap might still occur. To overcome these shortcomings, we introduce BlueNoise Plots where random jitter along the non-encoding plot dimension is replaced by optimizing all dots to keep a minimum distance in 2D i. e., Blue Noise. We evaluate the effectiveness as well as the aesthetics of Blue Noise Plots through both, a quantitative and a qualitative user study. %K Computer Science, Graphics, cs.GR
