We propose near-eye light field displays that enable thin, lightweight head-mounted displays (HMDs) capable of presenting nearly correct convergence, accommodation, binocular disparity, and retinal defocus depth cues. Sharp images are depicted by outof-focus elements by synthesizing light fields corresponding to virtual objects within a viewer’s natural accommodation range. We formally assess t...

The advances in high dynamic range (HDR) imaging, especially in the display and camera technology, have a significant impact on the existing imaging systems. The assumptions of the traditional low-dynamic range imaging, designed for paper print as a major output medium, are ill suited for the range of visual material that is shown on modern displays. For example, the common assumption that the ...

The capture, transmission, and display of 3D content has gained a lot of attention in the last few years. 3D multimedia content is no longer confined to cinema theatres but is being transmitted using stereoscopic video over satellite, shared on Blu-Raydisks, or sent over Internet technologies. Stereoscopic displays are needed at the receiving end and the viewer needs to wear special glasses to ...

Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) have improved so dramatically over the past years, that they have rapidly overtaken the TV market. At the moment, one major aspect where LCDs are still inferior to the traditional Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), is the resolution of moving images, i.e. dynamic resolution. In this paper, we review some of the proposed methods to improve this aspect, from a video signal pro...

Three experiments were undertaken to ascertain the extent to which expertise in natural anticipatory tasks is characterised by superior attunement to the biomechanical (kinematic) constraints of the movement pattern being observed. Twelve world-class and twelve non-expert badminton players were required to predict the depth of an opponent's stroke from either video displays or point-light displ...

A multipoint, multimedia conferencing system called FocusShare is described that uses IPv6/IPv4 multicasting for real-time collaboration, enabling video, audio, and group awareness information to be shared. Multiple telepointers provide group awareness information and make it easy to share attention and intention. In addition to pointing with the telepointers, users can add graphical annotation...

High Dynamic Range (HDR) displays and cameras are paving their ways through the consumer market at a rapid growth rate. Thanks to TV and camera manufacturers, HDR systems are now becoming available commercially to end users. This is taking place only a few years after the blooming of 3D video technologies. MPEG/ITU are also actively working towards the standardization of these technologies. How...

We present an end-to-end server–client system for high-resolution video transmission over IP networks. The system supports communication of compressed information, user operations through a fully functional user interface as well as detection and tracking of moving objects/people. It relies on a communication subsystem which has been developed for real time transmission of MJPEG / MJPEG2000 com...

Abstract Research has shown that while the authenticity of positive emotional displays plays an important role in service encounters, it not yet demonstrated a universally effect on customers’ behavior. This study, which is first to present customer involvement as contextual factor influences processing, provides deeper understanding effectiveness displays. The model based expectation disconfir...

In this paper we introduce our current work on the concept and implementation of a cooperative meeting space that connects two remote labs via a permanent audio-video channel and supports single-user, single-group, and group-to-group interaction on synchronised large displays.
