In addition to the development of new ways in interaction, the VRlab takes care of the investigation and evaluation of new technologies from the entertainment industry for their applications in computer science environment. Currently, the Vrlab is working on an interface between the interactive, markerless motion capture tool Microsoft Kinect and a medical software with …
The VRlab Team presented the Microsoft Kinect on the Informatics Inside in May 2011. The functionality of the Kinect was presented based on two applications named Gesichtspuzzle and Sinbad. The embedded YouTube clip shows these both applications in action. In contrast to the application Sinbad, which is only an example provided by the OpenNI SDK, …
Das Tracking von Bewegungen eines Benutzers ist eine häufig verwendete Technik, um die Interaktion mit virtuellen Welten zu ermöglichen. Professionelle Trackingsysteme (siehe WorldViz-Tracking) sind jedoch sehr teuer. Hauptziel dieses Teilprojektes ist es eine low-cost Lösung zu entwickeln, die in der Lage ist, den Benutzer mit der virtuellen Welt interagieren zu lassen. Zwei herkömmliche stereoskopisch ausgerichtete …
During winter semester 2008 a new commercial tracking system by the company WorldViz was installed in the VRLab. This system – named after the manufacturer WorldViz – consists of four high-resolution cameras and a tracking computer. The team members are currently developing virtual reality applications in the programming language python. For development they use Vizard, …
The concept of the VRLab Framework was developed to gain modularization and transparency for the common functionalities which are used by all projects in the VRLab. The most of these projects enable the user to interact with virtual reality applications through special hardware. The multi-touch table, the Cube and an iPad allow the input of …
Since the beginning of winter semester 2010, the VRlab team is also working on two multi-touch systems. One of the two is a rear projection system with a vertical screen area. Because of its shape the system is named Cube. The Eyevis GmbH, a leading manufacturer of large screen systems, gratuitously provided the Cube for …
The Android Vrlab- Remote Control serves as a remote control for hard and software systems in the VRlab. With the help of the remote control, the backward projection system can be accessed by two video projects as well as query information about their actual configuration. Furthermore, with the help of the Remote Control you can …
Since 2009 we are experimenting with Lego Mindstorms in the VRlab. The robotics can communicate by Bluetooth with each other and other Bluetooth compatible devices. That allows the interaction of the robotics with WorldViz. An actual project is the control of robotics by gestures that are recognized by WorldViz. A seeking scenario is an autonym …
The Project 3D Video Transformation is working on an implementation for three-dimensional video conferences. Therefore, the first step is to develop in Webcam quality and later use HD-format. Based on Microsoft DirectShow, that is part of DirectX, two images of average eye separation of an installed Webcam-/HD camera should be sent with the help of …
The 3D model manual offers the possibility to access a collection of 3d models from course by the tracking system and show this in VRlAb stereoscopy. The system recognize black-white marker in the 3d model manual with the help of a standard webcam. This manual is similar to a common photo album. Instead of photos …
