Title:Octahedral Projection

Abstract: I'll present a new formulation of the octahedral projection based on a generalization of the parabolic projection.
The new projection is suitable for applications requiring a large number of texture lookups per rendering pass. Octahedral
maps can be efficiently implemented on current graphics hardware, have good texture memory usage and are continuous
along all octohedra's faces, and are axially symmetric.

5. General Discussion Items

Recruitment summer interns and permanent hires from Adobe in San Jose
University day is the March 16th, we should prepare some demos for the high school students.
There are two recruit meetings next week. The one for Bioinformatics group is at 10:30 Monday. The one for HCI is on Thursday.
