This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project develops new algorithms and data representations to streamline the development and dissemination of computer animation products. High risk for this project lies in extending prototype software for temporal anti-aliasing on crisp mathematical examples to realistically complex cases. The innovation, if successful, will be a comprehensive commercial solution and provide basic improvements to temporal anti-aliasing during the conceptual design stage, portability across display devices (inclusive of emerging 3-D options) and compact representation for more efficient data storage and transmission. The business focus of the effort is to facilitate the creation, storage and delivery of digital visual effects. If successful, a new market (similar to traditional visual effects) will be developed. Once established, this market will offer significant commercial opportunity. As the technology matures, current partners will be developing instructional animation content for undergraduate biology students. This effort will offer feedback to assist in contributing to ongoing educational projects in other areas as well.

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目开发新的算法和数据表示，以简化计算机动画产品的开发和传播。该项目的高风险在于将用于在清晰的数学示例上进行时间抗锯齿的原型软件扩展到现实的复杂情况。 如果成功，这项创新将成为一个全面的商业解决方案，并为概念设计阶段的时间抗锯齿提供基本改进、跨显示设备的可移植性（包括新兴的3D选项）以及更高效的数据存储和传输的紧凑表示。 这项工作的业务重点是促进数字视觉效果的创建、存储和交付。如果成功，将开发一个新的市场（类似于传统的视觉效果）。 一旦建立，这个市场将提供巨大的商业机会。随着技术的成熟，目前的合作伙伴将为本科生物学学生开发教学动画内容。 这项工作将提供反馈，以协助促进其他领域正在进行的教育项目。
