Superquadric Tensor Glyphs

This is a web version of the talk that I gave at the Eurographics/IEEE TVCG Symposium on Visualization ("VisSym"), on the lovely island of Mainau in Konstanz, Germany, on May 20, 2004. Unlike previous talks, I didn't really memorize what I was doing to say- the words here closer to what I meant to say, rather than what I did say.

These pages were made with talkweb, a stand-alone program released with teem, version 1.7 or later. The exact command was: 

talkweb -i preindex.html -t preslide.html -s outline.txt
executed in this directory. The PNG images of the slides were made by PowerPoint.
