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 ...

Stable Real-Time Interaction Between Virtual Humans and Real Scenes

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Michal Ponder

We present an augmented reality system that relies on purely passive techniques to solve the real-time registration problem. It can run on a portable PC and does not require engineering of the environment, for example by adding markers. To achieve this res ...
