:is there a recent reference of Mr. Shoemake's that I could use as a pointer
:to his work?
Check in the various Graphics Gems volumes, several very fine
SIGGRAPH papers, and the course notes from some of the past
computational geometry courses at SIGGRAPH. Also, you can
contact him at shoemake++at++graphics.cis.upenn.edu if email is your
chosen route -- however I recommend that you respect his time
by reading his publications before asking him questions.
:Are these implementations documented somewhere that I can gain access to?
They are described in the IRIS Performer 2.0 reference pages that
will be shipped when the product is released in a few months.
:> If you've seen the Walt Disney Imagineering Labs "Aladdin Attraction" at
:> EPCOT Center or at SIGGRAPH 1994, then you saw IRIS Performer
:> quaternions in action. They're used to extrapolate the viewer's head
:> position forward in time to minimize perceived latency, as explained
:> in SIGGRAPH Technical Course #14.

:Is this technical course available somewhere?
Sure. From ACM's SIGGRAPH. I don't know the details, but
someone at the siggraph.org site should be able to help you with
the order process.
