Virtual Shadows in Mixed Reality Environment Using Flashlight-like Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the concepts of Virtual Light and Virtual Shadow with the aim of achieving a Mixed Reality Environment focused on shadows. In this proposal, we divide the concept of Virtual Shadow into four categories, and among them, implement four types of interactive applications: (a) real to virtual shadow for rigid objects, (b) real to virtual shadow for non-rigid objects, (c) image-based virtual to virtual shadow, and (d) virtual to real shadow. In these applications, we can see the shadow of a real object projected onto the virtual world and vice versa. These proposed concepts and applications should contribute to the realization of a Mixed Reality Environment that provides a novel sense of visual interaction.

متن کاملVirtual Reflections and Virtual Shadows in Mixed Reality Environments
In this paper we propose the concepts of virtual reflections, lights and shadows to enhance immersion in mixed reality (MR) environments, which focus on merging the real and the virtual world seamlessly. To improve immersion, we augment the virtual objects with real world information regarding the virtual reality (VR) system environment, e.g., CAVE, workbench etc. Realworld objects such as inpu...
متن کاملThe Future of Mixed Reality: Issues in Illumination and Shadows
Mixed Reality (MR) is a blending of real and virtual objects. How well that blending works is critical to a user’s experience within an MR scenario. The focus of this paper is on the visual aspects of this blending; other senses such as sound and haptics are covered elsewhere. Blending the real and virtual realities in MR requires that the virtual objects react properly to changes in real light...
متن کاملVirtual Reality Exposure Therapy for the Treatment of Darkness Phobia
Virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy is a common treatment for phobia and the efficacy of this technique has proved. The darkness phobia is one of the most common disorders among the children. This is the first research about the darkness phobia and using VR to treat the patients. The VR system designed in this article is composed from two parts: Mechatronic devices and graphics unit. As a chi...
متن کاملAchieving Interactive-time Realistic Illumination in Mixed Reality
Properly lighting virtual objects and having them cast shadows on each other based on dynamic lighting conditions is a computationally hard challenging Even more complex are the issues raised when this must be done in a Mixed Reality environment where virtual objects and virtual light interact with real objects and real light. This paper presents several interactive-time algorithms to enable in...
