Meschers: Geometry Processing of Impossible Objects

SMRTR summary

Meschers introduce a new way to digitally represent impossible objects like M.C. Escher's illusions by storing 2D screen positions and edge depth differences, unlike traditional 3D meshes. This mathematical representation enables standard geometry processing operations including smoothing, heat diffusion, and geodesic distance calculation while preserving the objects' visual impossibility for rendering and relighting.
