Hill Submitted to the Program in Media Arts and Sciences School of Architecture and Planning on May 7, 2004 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media Arts and Sciences Abstract The number of three-dimensional displays available is escalating and yet the capturing devices for multiple view content are focused on either single camera precision rigs that are limited to stationary objects or the use of synthetically created animations. In this work we will use the existence of inexpensive digital CMOS cameras to explore a multi- image capture paradigm and the gathering of real world real-time data of active and static scenes. -

Virtual Reality and Visual Perception by Jared Bendis
Virtual Reality and Visual Perception by Jared Bendis Introduction Goldstein (2002) defines perception as a “conscious sensory experience” (p. 6) and as scientists investigate how the human perceptual system works they also find themselves investigating how the human perceptual system doesn’t work and how that system can be fooled, exploited, and even circumvented. The pioneers in the ability to control the human perceptual system have been in the field of Virtual Realty. In Simulated and Virtual Realities – Elements of Perception, Carr (1995) defines Virtual Reality as “…the stimulation of human perceptual experience to create an impression of something which is not really there” (p. 5). Heilig (2001) refers to this form of “realism” as “experience” and in his 1955 article about “The Cinema of the Future” where he addresses the need to look carefully at perception and breaks down the precedence of perceptual attention as: Sight 70% Hearing 20% Smell 5% Touch 4% Taste 1% (p. 247) Not surprisingly sight is considered the most important of the senses as Leonardo da Vinci observed: “They eye deludes itself less than any of the other senses, because it sees by none other than the straight lines which compose a pyramid, the base of which is the object, and the lines conduct the object to the eye… But the ear is strongly subject to delusions about the location and distance of its objects because the images [of sound] do not reach it in straight lines, like those of the eye, but by tortuous and reflexive lines. … The sense of smells is even less able to locate the source of an odour. -

Farook Hamzeh, Assistant Professor, American University of Beirut; [email protected] Hisham Abou-Ibrahim, PhD Candidate, American University of Beirut; [email protected] Anthony Daou, Graduate Student, American University of Beirut; [email protected] Mazen Faloughi, Graduate Student, American University of Beirut; [email protected] Nadim Kawwa, Graduate Student, American University of Beirut; [email protected] SUMMARY: Different visualization techniques are used to display and communicate information in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. While 2D representations have been historically used to communicate designers’ intent, 3D representation technologies have been increasingly used in the AEC industry. In this regard, designers gained more flexibility to express their 3D designs on one hand, and to communicate their intent to involved stakeholders on the other. However, current 3D visualization tools still rely on different forms of screens as a communication interface between information stored in a computer and involved users which may affect the interpretability of modeled information. In this context, this study explores the use of holography to represent and share construction information in both the design and construction phases of AEC projects. This paper reviews the current state of art in holographic visualization, examines the various techniques used to create holograms, evaluates the potential use of holography in construction, and compares it to other physical and digital modeling methods currently in use. -

ChromoStereoscopic Rendering for Trichromatic Displays Le¨ıla Schemali1;2 Elmar Eisemann3 1Telecom ParisTech CNRS LTCI 2XtremViz 3Delft University of Technology Figure 1: ChromaDepth R glasses act like a prism that disperses incoming light and induces a differing depth perception for different light wavelengths. As most displays are limited to mixing three primaries (RGB), the depth effect can be significantly reduced, when using the usual mapping of depth to hue. Our red to white to blue mapping and shading cues achieve a significant improvement. Abstract The chromostereopsis phenomenom leads to a differing depth per- ception of different color hues, e.g., red is perceived slightly in front of blue. In chromostereoscopic rendering 2D images are produced that encode depth in color. While the natural chromostereopsis of our human visual system is rather low, it can be enhanced via ChromaDepth R glasses, which induce chromatic aberrations in one Figure 2: Chromostereopsis can be due to: (a) longitunal chro- eye by refracting light of different wavelengths differently, hereby matic aberration, focus of blue shifts forward with respect to red, offsetting the projected position slightly in one eye.

3. Digital 3D, Parallax Effects, and the Construction of Film Space In
3. Digital 3D, Parallax Effects, and the Construction of Film Space in Tangled 3D and Cave of Forgotten Dreams 3D Kristen Whissel Abstract This essay analyzes how parallax effects in Cave of Forgotten Dreams 3D (2010) and Tangled 3D (2010) effectively blur the boundaries between the past and present, sight and touch, and diegetic space and the space of reception in order to give form to themes concerning the dimensionality of the moving image. I show how these films function as ideal case studies for demonstrating digital 3D’s transformation of film space by organizing seeing, knowing, and feeling along the screen’s z-axis. Keywords: Digital 3D, parallax effects, affect, haptics, uncanny Since the release of Chicken Little 3D (Mark Dindal) in 2005, digital 3D cinema has had the odd historical status of being a ‘new’ medium that has returned to us from the past as a harbinger of cinema’s future. To be sure, digital 3D has transformed our understanding of the (pre-)history of the cinema itself, which now must include Charles Wheatstone’s invention of the stereoscope (1838) and Charles Babbage’s invention of the Analytical Engine (1837) in the first half of the 19th century. However long this history, the return of stereoscopic 3D as a digital medium demands a rethinking of film history to include the changing dimensionality of the moving image and, with it, transformations in the articulation of film space. Much as digital tools provide new means for organizing the image along and around the x- (horizontal) and y- (vertical) axes, they have also provided, as Stephen Prince has argued, new means for ‘choreographing’ story, character, and action along the z-axis—a continuum that stretches from the extreme Sæther, S.Ø. -
A Novel Walk-Through 3D Display
A Novel Walk-through 3D Display Stephen DiVerdia, Ismo Rakkolainena & b, Tobias Höllerera, Alex Olwala & c a University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA b FogScreen Inc., Tekniikantie 12, 02150 Espoo, Finland c Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, 100 44 Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT We present a novel walk-through 3D display based on the patented FogScreen, an “immaterial” indoor 2D projection screen, which enables high-quality projected images in free space. We extend the basic 2D FogScreen setup in three ma- jor ways. First, we use head tracking to provide correct perspective rendering for a single user. Second, we add support for multiple types of stereoscopic imagery. Third, we present the front and back views of the graphics content on the two sides of the FogScreen, so that the viewer can cross the screen to see the content from the back. The result is a wall- sized, immaterial display that creates an engaging 3D visual. Keywords: Fog screen, display technology, walk-through, two-sided, 3D, stereoscopic, volumetric, tracking 1. INTRODUCTION Stereoscopic images have captivated a wide scientific, media and public interest for well over 100 years. The principle of stereoscopic images was invented by Wheatstone in 1838 [1]. The general public has been excited about 3D imagery since the 19th century – 3D movies and View-Master images in the 1950's, holograms in the 1960's, and 3D computer graphics and virtual reality today. Science fiction movies and books have also featured many 3D displays, including the popular Star Wars and Star Trek series. In addition to entertainment opportunities, 3D displays also have numerous ap- plications in scientific visualization, medical imaging, and telepresence. -

Electronics Engineering, ITBA University, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1982 M. Electronics Engineering, ITBA University, Buenos Aires, Argentina 1984 THESIS Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Chicago, 2004 Chicago, Illinois ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I arrived at UIC in the winter of 1996, more than seven years ago. I had a lot to learn: how to find my way around a new school, a new city, a new country, a new culture and how to do computer science research. Those first years were very difficult for me and honestly I would not have made it if it were not for my old friends and the new ones I made at the laboratory and my colleagues. There are too many to list them all, so let me juts mention a few examples. I would like to thank my thesis committee (Thomas DeFanti, Daniel Sandin, Andrew Johnson, Jason Leigh and Joel Mambretti) for their unwavering support and assistance. They provided guidance in several areas that helped me accomplish my research goals and were very encouraging throughout the process. I would especially like to thank my thesis advisor Daniel Sandin for laying the foundation of this work and his continuous encouragement and feedback. He has been a constant source of great ideas and useful guidelines during my Thesis’ program. Thanks to Professor J. Ben-Arie for teaching me about science and computer vision. -
