Tele-immersive systems

Investigating the main characteristics of 3D real time tele-immersive environments through the example of a computer augmented golf platform

“…It can also reinforce the immersion feeling in the virtual environment. Indeed, 3D sound systems, which can provide the feeling of wind, are very important elements that can bring the immersion even further [23].…”

Tele-Immersive Interaction with Intelligent Virtual Agents Based on Real-Time 3D Modeling

“…In order to achieve real-time 3D reconstruction, research groups at various universities around the world have studied modeling techniques and developed different image-based modeling systems. The representatives include GrImage at INRIA [9], teleimmersive system in the DISCOVERY lab at University of Ottawa [10], Virtualized Reality system at Carnegie Mellon University [11,12] and Keck Laboratory at the University of Maryland [13].…”

“…GrImage at INRIA uses EPVH (Exact Polyhedral Visual Hull) method [14,15] and cluster parallelization techniques for real-time reconstruction which requires a large cluster of computers [16]. The DISCOVERY lab at University of Ottawa developed a tele-immersive system using also EPVH but resulted in lower modeling efficiency [10]. Virtualized Reality system at CMU first used multi-baseline stereo techniques to extract models of dynamic scenes [11,12] and then they explored volumecarving methods with epipolar geometry to generate an image of the desired view [17,18].…”
