Wearable Mixed Reality System In Less Than 1 Pound

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Achille Peternier

We have designed a wearable Mixed Reality (MR) framework which allows to real-time render game-like 3D scenes on see-through head-mounted displays (see through HMDs) and to localize the user position within aknown internet wireless area. Our equipment weig ...

A Virtual Keyboard Based on True-3D Optical Ranging

Edoardo Charbon, Huan Du, Félix Lustenberger

In this paper, a complete system is presented which mimics a QWERTY keyboard on an arbitrary surface. The system consists of a pattern projector and a true-3D range camera for detecting the typing events. We exploit depth information acquired with the 3D r ...
