Title: Per-Pixel Displacement with Distance Mapping

Abstract:
Displacement mapping is a technique used to add small-scale detail by perturbing a base geometry, usually using a height field. I will be presenting a chapter from the upcoming "GPU Gems 2" book written by UW student Will Donnelly, illustrating how to implement displacement mapping efficiently on the graphics card using a technique called distance mapping.
