In this paper, we discuss the challenge of 3DTV and present our requirements for a novel threedimensional video format. We will show that the ad-hoc stereoscopic video format does not provide the necessary flexibility towards user interactivity and non-stereo based 3D displays. In order to enable an evolutionary scenario from 2D towards 3DTV, we will propose our preferred solution that combines...

We present a novel, end-to-end workflow for content creation and distribution to a multitude of displays that have different dynamic ranges. The emergence of new, consumer level HDR displays with various peak luminances expected in 2015 gives rise to two new research questions: (i) how can the raw source content be graded for a diverse set of displays both efficiently and without restricting ar...

Several recent publications introduce user interface prototypes with non-planar interactive surfaces. Using our own prototype Curve featuring a large vertically curved interactive surface, we want to explore video conferencing and remote collaboration scenarios on non-planar interactive surfaces. We discuss the factors framing, mobility, conception of space and interface compatibility, which mi...

M. Zhao, M. Bosma and G. de Haan Abstract The recent revolution in display technology enables bright highresolution displays, thereby removing one of the bottlenecks in video quality. We discuss how to profit from HD flat panel displays when watching legacy SD-video material. An overview of resolution upconversion techniques is presented, including an objective (MSEscores) and a subjective asse...

Head-mounted displays (HMDs) can be divided into two categories: opaque (the real world view is totally or partially blocked by the display apparatus) and see-through (the computer image is superimposed onto the real world). Each type has its own uses and advantages, depending on the application. See-through head-mounted displays (STHMDs) can be further subdivided into optical STHMDs and video-...

Plasma display panels (PDP) are now a commonly used display technology for both commercial information display purposes and consumer television applications. Despite the widespread deployment of these displays, it was not commonly known whether these displays could be used successfully for time-sequential stereoscopic 3D visualization (i.e. using LCS 3D glasses). We therefore conducted a study ...

Recent technological advances in creating thin-film, rollable displays indicate their prospective implementation in mobile devices. In this position paper, we argue that such displays have a great potential to advance the field of mobile video interaction due to their flexible screen size and rich physical interaction capabilities. To support the discussion, we depict exemplary interaction conc...
