Gaze-Dependent Depth-of-Field Effect Rendering in Virtual Environments

چکیده
This paper presents gaze-dependent depth-of-field (DOF) rendering setup, consisting of high frequency eye tracker connected to a graphics workstation. A scene is rendered and visualised with the DOF simulation controlled by data captured with the eye tracker. To render a scene in real-time, the reverse-mapped z-buffer DOF simulation technique with the blurring method based on Poisson disk is used. We conduct perceptual experiments to test human impressions caused by simulation of the DOF phenomenon and to assess benefits of using eye tracker to control the DOF effect rendering in virtual environments. Additionally, we survey the eye tracking technologies suitable for virtual environments and preview techniques of the real time DOF rendering.

Using an Eye-Tracking System to Improve Camera Motions and Depth-of-Field Blur Effects in Virtual Environments (SKETCH)
This paper describes the use of user’s focus point to improve some visual effects in virtual environments (VE). First, we describe how to retrieve user’s focus point in the 3D VE using an eye-tracking system. Then, we propose the adaptation of two rendering techniques which aim at improving users’ sensations during first-person navigation in VE using his/her focus point: (1) a camera motion whi...
متن کاملAn Optical Analysis of Light Field Rendering
Light field rendering has been proposed to render novel images from a collection of captured images without explicit geometry information. In this report, we present an optical analysis of light field rendering. In particular, a light field rendering system can be considered as a virtual imaging system with a discrete synthetic aperture (e.g., [10]. We define the key elements of the virtual ima...
متن کاملDepth of Field Rendering Algorithms for Virtual Reality
Depth of field, both a focus and depth cue, is not currently implemented in wearable virtual reality displays today even though there is evidence that suggests it could significantly improve the immersive experience. In this project I have investigated different depth of field rendering algorithms that give accurate reproductions of depth of field (retinal blur) on scenes displayed in virtual r...
متن کاملImage Based Interactive Rendering with View Dependent Geometry
In this paper we present a novel approach for interactive rendering of virtual views from real image sequences. Combining the concepts of light fields, depth-compensated image warping and view dependent texture mapping, this plenoptic modeling approach can handle large and complex scenes. A portable, handheld multi-camera system has been developed that allows to record multiple image streams by...
متن کاملDepth Perception in View-Dependent Near-Field Spatial AR
View-dependent rendering techniques are an important tool in Spatial Augmented Reality. These allow the addition of more detail and the depiction of purely virtual geometry inside the shape of physical props. This paper investigates the impact of different depth cues onto the depth perception of users.
