Generalized barycentric coordinates have applications in [[computer graphics]] and more specifically in [[geometric model]]ling.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Floater |first=Michael S. |date=2003 |title=Mean value coordinates |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0167839603000025 |journal=Computer Aided Geometric Design |language=en |volume=20 |issue=1 |pages=19–27 |doi=10.1016/S0167-8396(03)00002-5}}</ref> Often, a three-dimensional model can be approximated by a polyhedron such that the generalized barycentric coordinates with respect to that polyhedron have a geometric meaning. In this way, the processing of the model can be simplified by using these meaningful coordinates. Barycentric coordinates are also used in [[geophysics]].<ref>ONUFRIEV, VG; DENISIK, SA; FERRONSKY, VI,  BARICENTRIC MODELS IN ISOTOPE STUDIES OF NATURAL-WATERS.
