The AR-CAVE: Distributed Collaborative Augmented Reality and Immersive Virtual Reality System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Combining augmented reality (AR) environments with immersive virtual environments (VEs) can reduce interaction gaps and provide embodied interactions in distributed collaborative works. It can also provide many opportunities and degrees of freedom for collaboration in both real and virtual worlds. A gesture based AR environment provides variety of input and output modalities to networked and distributed immersive VEs. In this paper, we present the AR-CAVE (Augmented Reality connected CAVE) platform that enables embodied interaction and tangible manipulations from a set of AR remote site to integrate physical free body interactions in a CAVE system. As a case study of the AR-CAVE, a simple 3D ball hitting task called the Ting Ting Together (T3) is demonstrated under a networked immersive VE and a computer vision based AR system.

متن کاملAR2Hockey: a case study of collaborative augmented reality
This paper introduces a collaborative augmented reality (AR) system for realtime, interactive operations. AR enables us to enhance physical space with computer generated virtual space. In addition, the collaborative AR makes multiple participants to simultaneously share a physical space surrounding them and a virtual space, visually registered with the physical one. They can also communicate ea...
متن کاملInfrared Tracking System for Immersive Virtual Environments
In this paper, we describe the theoretical foundations and engineering approach of an infrared-optical tracking system specially design for large scale immersive virtual environments (VE) or augmented reality (AR) settings. The system described is capable of tracking independent retro-reflective markers arranged in a 3D structure (artefact) in real time (25Hz), recovering all possible 6 Degrees...
