The actor tracking delivers the distance between actor and studio camera. We deploy a photonic mixing device, which captures a depth map and a luminance image at low resolution. The renderer engines gets one depth value per actor using the OSC protocol. We describe the actor recognition algorithm based on the luminance image and the depth value calculation. We discuss technical issues like noise and calibration.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MarinosGeigerSchwirtenetal.2010, author = {Marinos, Dionysios and Geiger, Christian and Schwirten, Tobias and G{\"o}bel, Sebastian}, title = {Multitouch navigation in zoomable user interfaces for large diagrams}, series = {ACM International Conference on Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces - ITS '10, 07.11.2010 - 10.11.2010, Saarbr{\"u}cken}, booktitle = {ACM International Conference on Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces - ITS '10, 07.11.2010 - 10.11.2010, Saarbr{\"u}cken}, editor = {Kr{\"u}ger, Antonio and Sch{\"o}ning, Johannes and Wigdor, Daniel and Haller, Michael}, publisher = {ACM Press}, address = {New York}, isbn = {9781450303996}, doi = {10.1145/1936652.1936713}, pages = {275}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GoebelGeigerHeinzeetal.2010, author = {G{\"o}bel, Sebastian and Geiger, Christian and Heinze, Christin and Marinos, Dionysios}, title = {Creating a virtual archery experience}, series = {Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces - AVI '10, 26.05.2010 - 28.05.2010, ROma}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces - AVI '10, 26.05.2010 - 28.05.2010, ROma}, editor = {Santucci, Giuseppe}, publisher = {ACM Press}, address = {New York}, isbn = {9781450300766}, doi = {10.1145/1842993.1843056}, pages = {337}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GeigerHerderGoebeletal.2010, author = {Geiger, Christian and Herder, Jens and G{\"o}bel, Sebastian and Heinze, Christin and Marinos, Dionysios}, title = {Design and Virtual Studio Presentation of a Traditional Archery Simulator}, series = {Proceedings of the Entertainment Interfaces Track 2010 at Interaktive Kulturen, Duisburg, Germany, September 12-15, 2010}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Entertainment Interfaces Track 2010 at Interaktive Kulturen, Duisburg, Germany, September 12-15, 2010}, address = {Duisburg}, pages = {37 -- 44}, year = {2010}, abstract = {In this paper we describe the design of a virtual reality simulator for traditional intuitive archery. Traditional archers aim without a target figure. Good shooting results require an excellent body-eye coordination that allows the user to perform identical movements when drawing the bow. Our simulator provides a virtual archery experience and supports the user to learn and practice the motion sequence of traditional archery in a virtual environment. We use an infrared tracking system to capture the user's movements in order to correct his movement. To provide a realistic haptic feedback a real bow is used as interaction device. Our system provides a believable user experience and supports the user to learn how to shoot in the traditional way. Following a user-centered iterative design approach we developed a number of prototypes and evaluated them for refinement in sequent iteration cycles. For illustration purposes we created a short video clip in our virtual studio about this project that presents the main ideas in an informative yet entertaining way.}, language = {en} }
