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.

  • Real-Time 3D Head Position Tracker System with Stereo
    REAL-TIME 3D HEAD POSITION TRACKER SYSTEM WITH STEREO CAMERAS USING A FACE RECOGNITION NEURAL NETWORK BY JAVIER IGNACIO GIRADO B. 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.

    There are 500 Stories at 3D-Con: This is One of Them I would like to welcome you to 3D-Con, a combined convention for the ISU and NSA. This is my second convention that I have been chairman for and fourth Southern California one that I have attended. Incidentally the first convention I chaired was the first one that used the moniker 3D-Con as suggested by Eric Kurland. This event has been harder to plan due to the absence of two friends who were movers and shakers from the last convention, David Washburn and Ray Zone. Both passed before their time soon after the last convention. I thought about both often when planning for this convention. The old police procedural movie the Naked City starts with the quote “There are eight million stories in the naked city; this has been one of them.” The same can be said of our interest in 3D. Everyone usually has an interesting and per- sonal reason that they migrated into this unusual hobby. In Figure 1 My Dad and his sister on a keystone view 1932. a talk I did at the last convention I mentioned how I got inter- ested in 3D. I was visiting the Getty Museum in southern Cali- fornia where they had a sequential viewer with 3D Civil War stereoviews, which I found fascinating. My wife then bought me some cards and a Holmes viewer for my birthday. When my family learned that I had a stereo viewer they sent me the only surviving photographs from my fa- ther’s childhood which happened to be stereoviews tak- en in 1932 in Norwalk, Ohio by the Keystone View Com- pany.
