Research Update

Alright, I'm just going to throw up a list of papers/articles that I'm going to take a look at. I've categorized them by topic and added a few words on why they'd be relevant to my project. I printed out the crucial ones (ie - Detecting Clones), but I'm still keeping tabs on the more tangentially relevant ones (ie - Crowd Rendering).

I want more on human perception and human modeling, but I think I have enough to read for tonight at least. I hope I'm going about this blog thing appropriately.
