RealityFlythrough - A System for Ubiquitous Video
University of California, San Diego
There are many situations in which one would like to explore a remote place
without the inconvenience or danger of doing so in person. RealityFlythrough is
a video telepresence system that works in dynamic, uncalibrated environments.
Using commodity networked mobile video cameras and a variety of positioning
technologies, it allows a person to immersively explore a remote physical
space. The live 2d video feeds are situated in a 3d model of the world. When
a person using RealityFlythrough switches from viewing one camera stream to
another, cues in the form of a dynamic transition provide a sense of how the
camera streams relate to each other in 3d. Attention is paid to the realities
of networked first-person video in order to produce a sensible and calm
experience. In this talk I introduce the concepts, abstractions, and systems
support behind RealityFlythrough, with supporting video clips from field
deployments in disaster response training exercises.
Hosted by Kenneth Anderson.
