Explorations of Display Interfaces for Virtual Reality
نویسنده
چکیده
Three alternatives to the traditional head mounted Virtual Reality display are described. One configuration is the Virtual Holographic Workstation; an external stereo CRT viewed by a user wearing head tracking stereo shutter glasses. Another is a Computer Augmented Reality camcorder, where virtual objects are composited onto live video using six axis tracking information about the location of the video camera. The third system is the Virtual Portal; an entire room is turned into a high resolution inclusive display by replacing three walls with floor to ceiling rear projection stereo displays. Details of the systems and experiences and limitations in their use are discussed.

Explorations in the Use of Augmented Reality for Geographic Visualization
In this paper we describe two explorations in the use of hybrid user interfaces for collaborative geographic data visualization. Our first interface combines three technologies; Augmented Reality (AR), immersive Virtual Reality and computer vision based hand and object tracking. Wearing a lightweight display with camera attached, users can look at a real map and see three-dimensional virtual te...

متن کاملSwimming Across the Pacific: A Novel Swimming Interface for VR
Locomotion interfaces to virtual reality environments present many challenges as well as exciting opportunities. Many researchers have examined classes of human movement such as walking, flying, and bicycling as means of locomotion in VR. By contrast, little has been explored in swimming. We outline the current state of development of the Swimming Across the Pacific (SAP) project which aims to ...
متن کاملSteerable Interactive Television: Virtual Reality Technology Changes User Interfaces of Viewers and of Program Producers
Television has traditionally been a passive medium from the viewerÕs perspective. The viewer sits in front of the television receiver and passively absorbs what is presented. On the other hand immersive virtual reality systems engage the user and bring the user into the virtual world, often as a participant rather than just as an observer. This paper looks at applying virtual reality display te...
متن کاملTangible Augmented Reality
This paper advocates a new metaphor for designing threedimensional Augmented Reality (AR) applications, Tangible Augmented Reality (Tangible AR). Tangible AR interfaces combine the enhanced display possibilities of AR with the intuitive manipulation and interaction of physical objects or Tangible User Interfaces. We define what Tangible AR interfaces are, present some design guidelines and prot...
