| Abstract | What are the potential great challenges and research topics in Interactive Computer Graphics? Today, great advances in photorealistic image synthesis allow us to enjoy special effects but they remain on flat screens in movies and in video games. But in the future, will special effects have some bearing on the daily life of an average person? Can we develop new computer graphics techniques, algorithm as well as capture, interface and display devices that will empower humans every second of their life? We must strive to bring those special effects into the real world. The challenge in bringing those visual effects into the real world is to make the experience aesthetic, seamless and natural. One may classify this problem as a futuristic "Augmented Reality" and the VR and AR community has made big strides in solving the pieces of the puzzle. Recently we have seen a range of practical solutions using Spatially Augmented Reality (SAR). In place of eye-worn or hand held displays, Spatial Augmented Reality methods exploit video projectors, cameras, radio frequency tags such as RFID, large optical elements, holograms and tracking technologies. So far, SAR research has taken only baby steps in supporting programmable reflectance, virtual illumination, synthetic motion and untethered interaction. Emerging novel display technologies, innovations in sensors and advances in material science, have the potential to enable broader applications. But the next big challenge for Computer Graphics and HCI is to exploit these innovations and deliver daily benefits for the common man via a powerful infusion of synthetic elements in the real world. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
