Prof. Holly Rushmeier is a professor in the Yale Department of Computer Science. Her research interests include shape and appearance capture, applications of perception in computer graphics, modeling material appearance and developing computational tools for cultural heritage. Prof. Rushmeier received her BS, MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University (1977, 1986 and 1988 respectively). Between receiving the BS and returning to graduate school in 1983 she worked as an engineer at the Boeing Commercial Airplane Company and at Washington Natural Gas Company (now a part of Puget Sound Energy). In 1988 she joined the mechanical engineering faculty at Georgia Tech. At the end of 1991, she joined the computing and mathematics staff of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, focusing on scientific data visualization. From 1996 to early 2004, Dr. Rushmeier was a research staff member at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. At IBM she worked on a variety of data visualization problems in applications ranging from engineering to finance. She also worked in the area of acquisition of data required for generating realistic computer graphics models, including a project to create a digital model of Michelangelo's Florence Pieta, and the development of a scanning system to capture shape and appearance data for presenting Egyptian cultural artifacts on the World Wide Web.

Prof. Henrik Wann Jensen is a professor at the University of California at San Diego, where he works in the computer graphics lab. His research is focused on realistic image synthesis, global illumination, rendering of natural phenomena, and appearance modeling. His contributions to computer graphics include the photon mapping algorithm for global illumination, and the first technique for efficiently simulating subsurface scattering in translucent materials. He is the author of "Realistic Image Synthesis using Photon Mapping," AK Peters 2001. He has rendered images that have appeared on the front covers of the National Geographic Magazine and the SIGGRAPH proceedings. He previously worked at Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Weta, Pixar, and at mental images. He received his MSc and PhD in computer science from the Technical University of Denmark. He is the recipient of an Academy Award (Technical Achievement Award) from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for pioneering research in rendering translucent materials. He also received a Sloan Fellowship, and was selected as one of the top 10 scientists by Popular Science magazine.

Computer graphics systems have elaborate systems of menus for specifying reflectance, transmittance and texture for objects. These menus are generally based on the computational structures that will be used (e.g. Specifying parameters like a "Phong exponent"), rather than on how people view or think about material appearance. Further, the systems apply to virtual materials only — not necessarily materials that will be physically produced. Only a few projects have explored other paradigms for specification — such as virtually painting test objects, rather than tweaking parameters. Little work has been done on the display requirements in terms of resolution, color reproduction and dynamic range required. The constraints of real material manufacture have not been incorporated. The role of VR and AR in material design has not be explored. This discussion will ask the audience to contribute their experiences with using and developing interfaces, and ideas for new research directions in this area.
