Sketch3: A 3D Curve Sketching System

Sketch3 is an experimental software project to accelerate sketching for ideation and in various design contexts, facilitating visualization in both 2D and 3D. The goal is to evolve a paradigm for ideating rapidly with a digital stylus (2D/3D) analogous to the fluid 2D sketching experience on paper. The software is expected to remove much of […]

Robust identification of protected heath information in unstructured data

A large amount of health-related data is available only in unstructured form (“free-form text”). To share this data for secondary purposes, it is necessary to de-identify it to protect against inappropriate disclosure of personal health information (PHI). PARAT Text is Privacy Analytics’ de-identification software for unstructured data. It automatically discovers and marks PHI in a […]

Real-time Special Effects Visualization (RTFX)

Computer hardware and software have revolutionized the film production process and brought about a world of visually rich, immersive videogames. These days, computers are used both in the process of developing preliminary visualizations of cinematic sequences (known as previsualization) and on-set to preview computer-generated environments and visual effects (known as virtual production). These techniques allow […]
