Video See-through Design for Merging of Real and Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A head mounted display (HMD) that is optically opaque with respect to the outer world can be provided with see-through capability by mounting video cameras to the outside of the helmet. Stereoscopic views of the physical space surrounding the wearer are captured by the video cameras and are projected to the display screens inside the HMD. In this paper, the authors describe the conditions necessary for mounting the cameras to a pre-existing, non-see-through HMD before discussing the advantages and disadvantages of different mounting schemes. We finally describe the design of the video cameras lenses to be used with this specific application.

A comparison of optical and video see-through head-mounted displays
One of the most promising and challenging future uses of head-mounted displays (HMDs) is in applications where virtual environments enhance rather than replace real environments. To obtain an enhanced view of the real environment, the user wears a see-through HMD to see 3D computergenerated objects superimposed on his/her real-world view. This see-through capability can be accomplished using ei...
متن کاملThirdspace: The Trialectics of the Real, Virtual and Blended Spaces
This article aims to redefine the concept of Thirdspace and make a trilateral relationship between the three concepts of real space, virtual space and the user. To do so, not only the concept of Thirdspace has to be redefined, but also a new understanding of virtual space as a relatively independent space is required. This three-sided relation requires a new understanding of the relationship be...
متن کاملAugmented reality and photogrammetry: A synergy to visualize physical and virtual city environments
Close-range photogrammetry is based on the acquisition of imagery to make accurate measurements and, eventually, three-dimensional (3D) photo-realistic models. These models are a photogrammetric product per se. They are usually integrated into virtual reality scenarios where additional data such as sound, text or video can be introduced, leading to multimedia virtual environments. These environ...
متن کاملO9: Youth Health Promotion Using Virtual Space
Virtual technology can be a useful tool for designing models of healthy urban environments. The resilience and sustainability in any urban environment involves the establishment and maintenance of the health of its citizens. The well-being of youth, the future workforce of every society, is a highly important consideration in the design of cities. Cities are only truly sustainable when the work...
متن کاملAn optical see-through display for mutual occlusion of real and virtual environments
In a mixed reality system, mutual occlusion of real and virtual environments enhances the user’s feeling that virtual objects truly exist in the real world. However, conventional optical see-through displays cannot present mutual occlusion correctly since the synthetic objects always appear as semitransparent ghosts floating in front of the real scene. In this paper, we propose a novel display ...
