System and method for entering text in a virtual environment
Francine Evans,Steven Skiena,Amitabh Varshney +2 more
- 30 Jul 1999
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for entering text in a virtual environment by sensory gloves is presented, where the user enters a key that represents one or more letters by simulating a press of a keyboard in the gloves.

Efficiently computing and updating triangle strips for real-time rendering
Jihad El-Sana,Jihad El-Sana,Francine Evans,Aravind Kalaiah,Aravind Kalaiah,Amitabh Varshney,Amitabh Varshney,Steven Skiena,Elvir Azanli +8 more
TL;DR: Skip Strip as mentioned in this paper is a data-structure that stores the vertex hierarchy nodes in a skip-list-like manner with path compression, which can be used to combine rendering acceleration techniques for static datasets with those for dynamic datasets found in immediate-mode applications.
