3D Visualization of the Bedrock Destroying phenomenon on Tele-Immersive Virtual Environment

Voodoo and DVR in a 3D Tele-Immersive Environment

3D Tele-Immersion (3DTI) systems have been developed as a way to create a more interactive and immersive experience for the user in the areas of sports learning, rehabilitation, entertainment and games. In this paper we introduce such a system with Microsoft Kinect cameras that can be used as a platform for developing some applications with unique features. Specifically, we demonstrate two feat...

User Experience of Hurricane Visualization in an Immersive 3D Environment

Numerical models such as the Mesoscale Model 5 (MM5) or the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) are used by meteorologists in the prediction and the study of hurricanes. The outputs from such models vary greatly depending on the model, the initialization conditions, the simulation resolution and the computational resources available. The overwhelming amount of data that is generated ca...

Experience with Multi-Camera Tele-Immersive Environment

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

We present a novel inter-camera trajectory association algorithm for partially overlapping visual sensor networks. The approach consists of three steps, namely Extraction, Representation and Association. Firstly, we extract trajectory segments in each camera view independently. These local trajectory segments are then projected on a common-plane. Next, we learn dynamic motion models of the proj...

Immersive Interactive Technologies towards a Multi- User 3D Virtual Environment

For many years online text chat such as ICQ [1] has been used as a means of multi-user interaction. As higher bandwidth is available, multipoint videoconferencing systems such as NetMeeting [2] or CUseeMe [3] that allow people from different geographical locations to see and talk to each other are becoming popular. However, these videoconferencing systems lack the sense of immersion because eac...
