Title: | Scalable Optical Tracking - A Practical Low-Cost Solution for Large Virtual Environments | Authors: | MAESEN, Steven BEKAERT, Philippe |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Source: | Proceedings of VISAPP 2011, p.538-545 | Abstract: | Navigation in large virtual reality applications is often done by unnatural input devices like keyboard, mouse, gamepad and similar devices. A more natural approach would be letting the user walk through the virtual world as if it was a physical place. This involves tracking the position and orientation of the participant over a large area. We propose a pure optical tracking system that only uses off-the-shelf components like cameras and LED ropes. The construction of the scene doesn’t require any off-line calibration or difficult positioning, which makes it easy to build and indefinitely scalable in both size and users. The proposed algorithms have been implemented and tested in a virtual and a room-sized lab set-up. The first results from our tracker are promising and can compete with many (expensive) commercial trackers. | Keywords: | Optical tracking; Wide-area; Low-cost; Scalable | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/13061 | ISBN: | 9789898425478 | ISI #: | 000393718200075 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | ecoom 2019 |
