Surfel Based Algorithm For Realtime Raytracing of Freeform Surfaces in Computer Graphics

You are being asked to test an application on your personal device for a research study about the analysis of freeform surfaces in computer graphics. Surfels in conjunction with computer graphics is a novel method of ray tracing 3d models. The purpose of the study is to improve the performance of real-time rendering applications, including performance on low-end devices.

An internet connection on your device is required to participate in this study. By running the application you give permission for data to be recorded such as the specifications of your personal computer, frame rate, and cpu memory of the application. No sensitive information stored on your personal computer will be collected.

To start run "main\main.exe", which will run the renderer. The renderer has 4 resolution modes: 960x540, 1280x720, 1600x900, 1920x1080. Press the exit button (or Alt + F4) on the application to proceed to the next resolution mode. I recommend proceeding to the next resolution mode after about at least 15 seconds. Once you press the exit button on the 1920x1080 resolution mode, the application will take a few seconds to send the data and then close the application.

If there are any issues with the application please contact SkyanSam#7970 on discord. Again thanks for helping with data collection. If you are interested in the results of this research hopefully there should be a video on my youtube channel within the next month or so.
