Integrating 2-D Video Actors into 3-D Augmented-Reality Systems

In this paper, we discuss the integration of 2-D video actors into 3-D augmentedreality (AR) systems. In the context of our research on narrative forms for AR, we have found ourselves needing highly expressive content that is most easily created by human actors. We discuss the feasibility and utility of using video actors in an AR situation and then present our Video Actor Framework (including ...

3-D head pose recovery for interactive virtual reality avatars

This paper discusses a tracking method allowing real-time recovery of the three-dimensional (3-D) position and orientation of a moving head. The described method uses a wireframe model of the head, a feature-based matching algorithm, and an extended Kalman filter estimator. The resulting motion tracking system works in a realistic environment without makeup on the face, with uncalibrated camera...

D 3 D Interaction and Virtual Reality

Interactive Augmented Reality

Augmented reality is the merging of synthetic sensory information into a user’s perception of a real environment. Until recently, it has presented a passive interface to its human users, who were merely viewers of the scene augmented only with visual information. In contrast, practically since its inception, computer graphics—and its outgrowth into virtual reality—has presented an interactive e...
