A Demonstrated Optical Tracker With Scalable Work Area for Head- Mounted Display Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
An optoelectronic head-tracking system for head-mounted displays is described. The system features a scalable work area that currently measures 10' x 12', a measurement update rate of 20-100 Hz with 20-60 ms of delay, and a resolution specification of 2 mm and 0.2 degrees. The sensors consist of four head-mounted imaging devices that view infrared lightemitting diodes (LEDs) mounted in a 10' x 12' grid of modular 2' x 2' suspended ceiling panels. Photogrammetric techniques allow the head's location to be expressed as a function of the known LED positions and their projected images on the sensors. The work area is scaled by simply adding panels to the ceiling's grid. Discontinuities that occurred when changing working sets of LEDs were reduced by carefully managing all error sources, including LED placement tolerances, and by adopting an overdetermined mathematical model for the computation of head position: space resection by collinearity. The working system was demonstrated in the Tomorrow's Realities gallery at the ACM SIGGRAPH '91 conference.

Comprehensive Tracker Based Display Calibration for Holographic Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Display
A holographic display system is able to offer an immersive 3D experience with a controllable focus cue that matches the depth information of virtual content. Proper calibration of an OST-HMD must take into account the specific features of that HMD. Existing calibration methods, however, cannot fully capture the optical characteristics of holographic display systems. With the aid of tracking sys...
متن کاملProjection based Head Mounted Display with Eye-Tracking Capabilities
We propose a novel conceptual design for a Head-Mounted Projection Display (HMPD) with Eye-Tracking (ET) capabilities. We present a fully integrated system that is robust, easy to calibrate, inexpensive, and lightweight. The HMD-ET integration is performed from a low-level optical configuration in order to achieve a compact, comfortable, easy-to-use system. The idea behind the full integration ...
متن کاملSingle point active alignment method (SPAAM) for optical see-through HMD calibration for AR
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology in which a user’s view of the real world is enhanced or augmented with additional information generated from a computer model. In order to have a working AR system, the see-through display system must be calibrated so that the graphics is properly rendered. The optical see-through systems present an additional challenge because we do not have access to the...
متن کاملRegistration Error Analysis for Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) systems typically use see-through head-mounted displays (STHMDs) to superimpose images of computer-generated objects onto the user’s view of the real environment in order to augment it with additional information. The main failing of current AR systems is that the virtual objects displayed in the STHMD appear in the wrong position relative to the real environment. This re...
