6DoF – AR/VR & Volumetric Video

Abstract: We present a scalable pipeline for Free-Viewpoint Video (FVV) content creation, considering also visualisation in Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). We support a range of scenarios where ...

In cinematic virtual reality one of the primary challenges from a storytelling perceptive is that of leading the attention of the viewers to ensure that the narrative is understood as ...

We present a robust, autonomous method for tracking volumetric sequences which can detect missing geometry and propagate user edits. Pictured left to right are step-by-step visualizations of the process. The ...

Abstract Egocentric gestures are the most natural form of communication for humans to interact with wearable devices such as VR/AR helmets and glasses. A major issue in such scenarios for ...

Abstract Augmented Reality is a topic of foremost interest nowadays. Its main goal is to seamlessly blend virtual content in real-world scenes. Due to the lack of computational power in ...

Natural interaction with virtual objects in AR/VR environments makes for a smooth user experience. Gestures are a natural extension from real world to augmented space to achieve these interactions. Finding ...

This research extends and builds upon V-SENSE's previous 6DoF work by exploring immersive learning practices and demonstrating workflows that enable the creation of immersive, virtual learning environments (VLEs) for social ...

In our first paper on the cross-reality Jonathan Swift project, Jonathan Swift: Augmented Reality Application for Trinity Library’s Long Room, we describe the project's use of cutting-edge volumetric video (VV) ...

Abstract The optimization of occlusion-inducing depth pixels in depth map coding has received little attention in the literature, since their associated texture pixels are occluded in the synthesized view and ...

Volumetric video (VV) pipelines reached a high level of maturity, creating interest to use such content in interactive visualization scenarios. Volumetric video allows real-world content to be captured and represented as ...

Ego hand gestures can be used as an interface in AR and VR environments. While the context of an image is important for tasks like scene understanding, object recognition, image ...

This paper presents an approach to upsampling point cloud sequences captured through a wide baseline camera setup in a spatio-temporally consistent manner. The system uses edge-aware scene flow to understand ...

The Impact of Covid-19: Telling your story The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, resulting in a sustained global pandemic. On the 29th of February 2020, ...

Abstract: One of the challenges facing creators of virtual reality (VR) film is that viewers can choose to view the omnidirectional video content in any direction. Content creators do not ...

Volumetric video (VV) pipelines reached a high level of maturity, creating interest to use such content in interactive visualisation scenarios. Volumetric video allows real-world content to be captured and represented ...

This is what virtual reality is, how it works, and what it can do. Games User Research (GUR) is a field of study that provides data on the experiences of ...

VR Ulysses Live in AltSpaceVR was a creative project investigating the possibilities of live performance in virtual reality (VR) by exploring a section of the opening scene of James Joyce’s ...
