Ümit Eronat, A Comparative Analysis of Various 3D Mesh Optimization Algorithms for Assessing Effectiveness on Sustaining Virtual Visual Illusion
This thesis presents a method of comparing the cost-effectiveness of 3D mesh simplification algorithms using the McGurk effect, where visual and auditory cues are combined to create an illusion. The study involves designing a human head mesh, animating mouth movements, and recording certain syllable sounds to produce a virtual scene. Using this virtual scene and applying three different mesh simplification algorithms on the animated head, a user study was conducted to test and measure the effectiveness of each algorithm for each different syllable in medium and high difficulty levels. Results highlight the balance between computational efficiency and perceptual accuracy, providing insights for 3D modeling and virtual reality applications.
