Meschers: Geometry Processing of Impossible Objects

Our representation has a theoretical foundation in discrete exterior calculus and supports the use-cases above, as we demonstrate in a number of example applications. In plain English, this means that if we cover a corner of an impossible object with a sheet of paper, the visible part of it begins to look possible! While the meschers model promises to shed light on human visual perception, from a computer graphics perspective it imporantly allows us to assemble intrinsic geometry operators such as a Laplacian!
