目前研究計畫

1.國科會之使用全局照明方法有效生成電腦動畫之研究
•本研究要克服MCMC的限制，並結合MCMC與光子潑墨。並在繪圖加速器(GPU)上使用MCMC以提昇生成效率及品質。
2.智慧生活整合性人才培育計畫
•研究及建製計畫之網站，計畫中想要建製一種新式的互動網站，進一步成為有效教學工具。
3.3D立體實境互動
•此研究欲結合3D實境立體成象及3D立體互動操作的整合，換句話說就是眼前出現一個漂浮在半空中的真實景象，我們可對他操作、控制。
4.電腦遊戲之設計
•此研究欲結合新一代的媒體如IPad跟Android手機讓資工及設計學院之學生將電腦遊戲之技術藝術及新傳媒結合。

• Yu-Chi Lai, Diana Zhou, Lia-Kai Wang, Poker: Texas Hold'em, In this project, we are implementing an online poker game. In this design document, we will present our method and protocol so as to ensure the security of the game. The poker game we are implementing is the Texas Hold'em. The appendix lists the rules about how to play it. The rest of this document is the detailed description of the design for this project. Web Page

• Yu-Chi Lai, Kathleen, Eelke, Josh, Day of the Tentacle We present the sequel to the best seller "The Day of the Tentacle". We rejoin Purple Tentacle in his quest for world domination. In our absence he has used a time machine to create an army of clones from himself. He has his "diminuator" that he will to destory anyone that gets in his way. Green Tentacle along with Bernard, Laverne and Hoagie must put an end to Purple Tentacle's evil empire and save the world! Web Page and Animation
