+Rendering text using the 3D hardware is problematic because
+the texturing algorithms are mainly designed for photorealistic
+rendering. The triliniear filtering and mip-mapping 
+cause artifacts and reduce readability in rendered text.
+We plan to develop a better filtering method for
+rendering text. 
+As one theoretical approach for modeling the readability 
+we can use the correlation function of the rendered text.
+In this approach, we can apply the earlier experience 
+on the MCMC and other sampling and modeling methods.
+
+Custom controllers can offer new ways to navigate and control the information 
+flow on the screen. 
+They are many usability aspects in the configuration of the degrees of freedom
+provided by the controller that can be theoretically modeled and experimentally
+tested.
