IllusionHole
- Interactive Stereoscopic Display for Three or More Users
IllusionHole is an interactive display system that allows three or more
moving observers to simultaneously observe stereoscopic image pairs from
their own viewpoints. With a simple configuration, it provides intelligible
3D stereoscopic images free of flicker and distortion. IllusionHole
is useful for applications in which several people work together to perform
tasks or enjoy entertainment with a multiplier effect. A complicated set
of data that is difficult for a single user to understand becomes a seed
of discovery, training, teaching, confer-encing, and communicating if it
is shared by several people. Feasible applications include, but are not
limited to, engineering or industrial design and evaluation, scientific
visualization, medical diagnosis and training, medical analysis, surgery
planning, and consumer devices such as 3D TV or games.
