Abstract

Visualization of large scale 3D models has become an important part of the development cycle in many fields

like building design, machine design, construction and many more. Whether for design communication or

demonstration, it is necessary for the viewers to fully understand the different components of the model, their

proportions compared to each other and the overall design. A variety of augmented reality(AR) applications

have been created for overall visualization of large scale models. For tours inside 3D renderings of models

many immersive virtual reality (VR) applications exist. Both types of applications have their limitation, omitting

either important details in the AR case or the full picture in the case of VR. This paper presents a low-cost

way to demonstrate models using a hybrid virtual environment system (HVE), combining virtual reality and

augmented reality visualization. The solution is built using a fully occlusive head mounted display(HMD),

together with off-the-shelf web cameras and a game controller for interaction. A proof of concept is created using

a commercial game engine, which is used in a subsequent case study. Based on this study, we demonstrate

the validity of our proposed system.

Abstract
Head mounted displays (HMD) are becoming ubiquitous. Simulator sickness has been an issue since the first simulators and HMDs were created. As computational power and display capabilities increase, so does their utilization in technologies such ...
The daylight blocking optical stereo see-through HMD
IPT/EDT '08: Proceedings of the 2008 workshop on Immersive projection technologies/Emerging display technologiges

In this paper we present an innovative daylight blocking optical stereo see-through HMD. Its outstanding capability is to pixelwise block incident daylight before super-imposing virtual content on the real scene. By doing so the device allows to ...
Inside looking out or outside looking in?: an evaluation of visualisation modalities to support the creation of a substitutional virtual environment
AVI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces

Current Virtual Reality systems only allow users to draw a rectangular perimeter to mark the room-scale area they intend to use. Domestic environments can include furniture and other obstacles that hinder the ease with which users can naturally walk. By ...
