The NASA Scientific and Technical Information (STI) Program Office plays a key part in helping NASA maintain this important role. The NASA STI Program Office is operated by Langley Research Center, the lead center for NASA's scientific and technical information. The NASA STI Program Office provides ...

Dynamic Simulation of Virtual Objects for Augmented Reality Applications. Development of an Augmented Reality Chess

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering by Marios-Fotios Bikos In order to enhance immersion in augmented reality systems, solutions must not only present a realistic visual rendering of the virtual objects, but also allow natural hand interactions. The main goal of this project was to utilize and introduce advanced techniques for the superimpositio...

3-D head pose recovery for interactive virtual reality avatars

This paper discusses a tracking method allowing real-time recovery of the three-dimensional (3-D) position and orientation of a moving head. The described method uses a wireframe model of the head, a feature-based matching algorithm, and an extended Kalman filter estimator. The resulting motion tracking system works in a realistic environment without makeup on the face, with uncalibrated camera...
