As data exploded with the advent of smartphones in the first decade of this century, we entered an era of experiences. The advent of VR/AR headsets a decade later brought us into the age of experiences. VR/AR headsets have transformed the way people experience different types of data, especially in gaming and entertainment. While headset based AR/VR can provide enhanced interactions for remote collaborators, for co-located collaborators, it can be restrictive and isolating. In their current form factor, headsets can be cumbersome, sometimes causing fatigue with long-duration use.
Spatially Augmented Reality (SAR) using multi-projector displays aims to bring the surround or large field-of-view (FOV) collaborative experiences out of the VR/AR headsets by merging digital content from multiple projectors with the physical environment around the user(s). The vision is to use multiple projectors to project digital imagery on everyday surfaces surrounding one or more users and to employ cameras to understand the display surface and projected content for correct merging of the physical with the virtual. Users can be tracked by the same cameras to provide dynamic perspective views of 3D virtual environments projected on the surfaces around the user.
This talk will present the key components of SAR developed at the iGravi Lab at UCI, focusing particularly on advanced computer vision techniques to bring this vision into fruition. We have also worked on developing concepts of next generation projectors and cameras that can be the cornerstone of such environments of the future.
Target Audience: Those with moderate to very high experience in AR/VR/MR and Spatial Technologies.
