Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of normal mapping on the perception of geometric depth between stereoscopic and non-stereoscopic views. Results show, that in a head-tracked environment, the addition of binocular disparity has no impact on the error rate in the detection of normal-mapped geometry. It does however significantly shorten the detection time.

The influence of different audio representations on linear visually induced self-motion

The influence of different audio representations on linear visually induced self-motion

We investigate the influence of four different audio representations on visually induced self-motion (vection). Our study followed the hypothesis, that the feeling of visually induced vection can be increased by audio sources while lowering negative feelings such as visually induced motion sickness.

SVEn – Shared Virtual Environment

SVEn – Shared Virtual Environment

This paper presents a system for a shared virtual experience which was developed within a student project. The main idea is to have two or more persons at different locations, who can interact with each other in the same virtual environment. In order to realize this idea every person is motion-captured and wears a head-mounted display (HMD). The virtual environment is rendered with the Unity game engine and the tracked positions are updated via the internet. The virtual environment developed in this project is highly immersive and users felt a strong sense of presence.
