Design and Development of a Multi-Sided Tabletop Augmented Reality 3D Display Coupled with Remote 3D Imaging Module

This paper proposes a tabletop augmented reality (AR) 3D display paired with a remote 3D image capture setup that can provide three-dimensional AR visualization of remote objects or persons in real-time. The front-side view is presented in stereo-3D format, while the left-side and right-side views are visualized in 2D format. Transparent glass surfaces are used to demonstrate the volumetric 3D augmentation of the captured object. The developed AR display prototype mainly consists of four 40 × 30 cm2 LCD panels, 54% partially reflective glass, an in-house developed housing assembly, and a processing unit. The capture setup consists of four 720p cameras to capture the front-side stereo view and both the left- and right-side views. The real-time remote operation is demonstrated by connecting the display and imaging units through the Internet. Various system characteristics, such as range of viewing angle, stereo crosstalk, polarization perseverance, frame rate, and amount of reflected and transmitted light through partially reflective glass, were examined. The demonstrated system provided 35% optical transparency and less than 4% stereo crosstalk within a viewing angle of ±20 degrees. An average frame rate of 7.5 frames per second was achieved when the resolution per view was 240 × 240 pixels

Integrated Multi-view 3D Image Capture and Motion Parallax 3D Display System

We propose an integrated 3D image capture and display system using a transversely moving camera, regular 2D display screen and user tracking that can facilitate the multi-view capture of a real scene or object and display the captured perspective views in 3D. The motion parallax 3D technique is used to capture the depth information of the object and display the corresponding views to the user using head tracking. The system is composed of two parts, the first part consists of a horizontally moving camera interfaced with a customized camera control and capture application. The second part consist of a regular LCD screen combined with web camera and user tracking application. The 3D multi-view images captured through the imaging setup are relayed to the display based on the user location and corresponding view is dynamically displayed on the screen based on the viewing angle of the user with respect to the screen. The developed prototype system provides the multi-view capture of 60 views with the step size of 1 cm and greater than 40˚ field-of-view overlap. The display system relays 60 views providing the viewing angle coverage of ±35˚ where the angular difference between two views is 1.2˚
