RPT / XTAL VISION

HMD (Head Mounted Display) CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) Occlusion Problem

RETROREFLECTIVE SURFACE
Corner Cube Arrays, Fly-eye lenses with diffusers & microbeads. Micro-beads : R.I - 2 Diameter - 50mm

PRINCIPLE OF RPT
Object covered with Retro-reflective material is used as screen Projector is placed on the position optically conjugated with the observers eye by using a half-mirror Projectors iris (pinhole) is very small

ADVANTAGES
Accurate Occlusion Relations Arbitrary Screen Shapes No Distortion of Image High Resolution Stereoscopic Images Binocular Stereovision

APPLICATIONS OF RPT
Pre-captured x-ray and/or MRI data can be superimposed onto a human patient so that a surgeon can have open surgery. Superimposing ultrasonic data, real-time presentation of inner body information is also possible.

BINOCULAR STEREOVISION
Two Eyes = Two Separate Views
Each eye takes a view of same location with slightly different angle

Two Eyes = 3-D

Each eye capture its own view Two separate view are sent to brain Brain combines them by matching similarities and adding differences 3-D Stereo Picture

HEAD MOUNTED PROJECTOR

Uses Xtal Vision (RPT) Conjugate Optical System
Provides High Resolution

When Image appears on the retroreflective material

Viewer can observe the images projected on the retro-reflective material occluded by the object which exists in front of the screen.

Front Projection Augmented Reality (AR)

WORKING
Produces Binocular Stereovision A HMP can observe a stereoscopic image on a retro-reflective screen.
The distance between an HMP and a projector should be less than 3.3 m. The distance between each eye is assumed to be 63 mm.

 Two liquid crystal display panels. Camera lens projects the image with wide angle. A Fiber guided light source is fixed above the LCD panels. Image is projected on the screen covered with retro-reflective material with the accurate occlusion relationships.

OPTICAL CAMOUFLAGE
RPT / Xtal Vision See-Through Head Mounted Display Transparent Cloak

PRINCIPLE OF WORKING

An HMP projects an image of the background scenery captured by the video camera behind the camouflaged subject.

 A computer calculates the appropriate perspective and transforms the captured image to the image to be projected on the subject using image-based rendering techniques. Cloak, the subject is wearing, is made of a special retro-reflective material.

In Safe Landings of Planes In Parking Vehicles

FUTURE?
Military devices based on "active" camouflage. Invisible Vehicle Design by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Invisible Human (spy)
Rather than one video camera, we'll need at least six stereoscopic pairs (facing forward, backward, right, left, upward, and downward) - enough to capture the surroundings in all directions.
