Abstract:
In this sketch, we present work in progress on a new projector-based approach to visualizing re-creations of real or virtual places. The major difference between our approach and previous ones is that we use a set of life-sized display surfaces that closely approximate the scene geometry. The effect is a virtual environment that is both visually and spatially realistic, which gives the user a strong sense of immersion.
