Six Degrees-of-freedom Virtual Reality for Live Events

沉浸式虚拟现实正在娱乐和商业领域获得认可。虚拟现实技术面临的最大挑战之一是提供高质量的真实世界事件的三维内容。在这项合作中，三维内容创作的研究将针对一种特殊的专利摄像机配置，该配置有望简化和加快内容创作过程。这种专利摄像机配置由三个或六个摄像机组成，每个摄像机都提供半球视图，提供了足够的冗余，从而有机会对实时三维内容创作进行重大改进。这个项目的目标是能够捕捉真实世界的事件，然后可以可视化，同时通过事件导航。这是为了使观众能够在虚拟现实环境中移动，同时向任何方向观看，这通常被称为六维可视化。

Immersive virtual reality is gaining acceptance in entertainment and for business. One of the great challenges invirtual reality is providing high quality three-dimensional content of real-world events. In this collaboration,research on the creation of three-dimensional content creation will target a special patented cameraconfiguration which promises to simplify and speed-up the content-creation process. This patented cameraconfiguration of three or six cameras each providing a hemispherical view provides enough redundancycreating the opportunity to make significant improvements to real-time three-dimensional content creation. Thegoal of this project is to be able to capture real-world events which then can be visualized while navigatingthrough the event. This is to enable a viewer to move through a virtual reality environment while looking inany direction which is commonly referred to as six-dimensional visualization.
