This is much like the original work of characterizing color between monitors and printers, but with the added challenges of incorporating 3D shape, texture, pattern, and glossiness. I am currently a software engineer at Google working for the <a href=\"https:\/\/skia.org\">Skia<\/a> graphics team, and have had summer internships at Google\u00a0and HP Labs.<\/p>\n<p>On my own time I like to develop computer graphics and video game tools, play video and board games, bike and weight lift, and work on my hobby farm.<\/p>\n<p>All writings and thoughts presented in this blog are my own, completed on my own time, and have no reflection or endorsement from the University of Minnesota, HP Labs, or Google.<\/p>\n<p>lhkbob is short for Lord High King Bob; it is a hold over from the early days of AIM as a child.
