The Wall of Inspiration
Title: The Wall of Inspiration
University of Minnesota Team: Seth Berrier, Clement Shimizu, Gary Meyer, and D’nardo Colucci
Benjamin Moore Paints Team: Patrick Chong and Carl Minchew
The Wall of Inspiration was a joint project between the University of Minnesota and Benjamin Moore paints. Customers are often dissatisfied with how different a color looks on a large wall compared to a small color chip. The purpose of the project was to explore the question of electronic color on a large scale display device. By carefully utilizing gloss and BRDF measurements we were able to create a realistic shader that simulated the appearance of paint given the various gloss levels.
