Providing a depth-rich Virtual Reality (VR) experience to users without causing discomfort remains to be a challenge with todays commercially available head-mounted displays (HMDs), which enforce strict measures on stereoscopic camera parameters for the sake of keeping visual discomfort to a minimum. However, these measures often lead to an unimpressive VR experience with shallow depth feeling. We propose the first method ready to be used with existing consumer HMDs for automated stereoscopic camera control in virtual environments (VEs). Using radial basis function interpolation and projection matrix manipulations, our method makes it possible to significantly enhance user experience in terms of overall perceived depth while maintaining visual discomfort on a par with the default arrangement. In our implementation, we also introduce the first immersive interface for authoring a unique 3D stereoscopic cinematography for any VE to be experienced with consumer HMDs. We conducted a user study that demonstrates the benefits of our approach in terms of superior picture quality and perceived depth. We also investigated the effects of using depth of field (DoF) in combination with our approach and observed that the addition of our DoF implementation was seen as a degraded experience, if not similar.
Complex 3D curves can be created by directly drawing mid-air in immersive environments (Augmented and Virtual Realities). Drawing mid-air strokes precisely on the surface of a 3D virtual object, however, is difficult; necessitating a projection of th
In this work, we propose two algorithms that can be applied in the context of a networked virtual environment to efficiently handle the interpolation of displacement data for hand-based VR HMDs. Our algorithms, based on the use of dual-quaternions an
The panoramic video is widely used to build virtual reality (VR) and is expected to be one of the next generation Killer-Apps. Transmitting panoramic VR videos is a challenging task because of two problems: 1) panoramic VR videos are typically much l
Virtual reality (VR) has long promised to revolutionize education, but with little follow-through. Part of the reason for this is the prohibitive cost of immersive VR headsets or caves. This has changed with the advent of smartphone-based VR (along t
The operation of telerobotic systems can be a challenging task, requiring intuitive and efficient interfaces to enable inexperienced users to attain a high level of proficiency. Body-Machine Interfaces (BoMI) represent a promising alternative to stan
