Water Dome - An Augmented Environment

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the influence that a water dome has on a person. The following approach was used for this study: ( I ) A water display was used as a projection screen; ( 2 ) The illusion of being under water was created; and (3) Experiments with water domes of various sizes were carried out. Water display is a head mounted type water membrane. When the display is ...

Visualizing Reality in an Augmented Virtual Environment

An Augmented Virtual Environment (AVE) fuses dynamic imagery with 3D models. An AVE provides a unique approach to visualizing spatial relationships and temporal events that occur in real-world environments. A geometric scene model provides a 3D substrate for the visualization of multiple image sequences gathered by fixed or moving image sensors. The resulting visualization is that of a world-in...

Projecting Rectified Images in an Augmented Environment

Steerable video projection systems make it possible to use any convenient surface as a display. This paper describes a steerable projection system in which a projector and camera are mounted in an overhead motorized assembly with two degrees of freedom. Associating a remote camera to the video projector makes it possible to discover planar surfaces in the environment that can be used as display...
