Title: User-Perspective Augmented Reality Magic Lenses

Committee: Matthew Turk (Co-Chair); Tobias Hollerer (Co-Chair); Pradeep Sen

 

Abstract

In augmented reality (AR), the magic lens is a type of interface in which a
hand-held display is used to take real-world environments and enhance them
with virtual content. The recent proliferation of smartphones and tablets
has resulted in millions of AR capable devices being deployed to the general
public, making the magic lens a de facto standard interface for AR. The
typical approach is to directly display video captured by the device, with
augmentations added. However, this approach shows the AR scene from the
perspective of the device, not that of the user. This falls short of the
full potential of the metaphor; a magic lens should be able to present the
augmented scene from the user's perspective. 

In this talk, I will present my research in the study and development of the
concept of a user-perspective augmented reality magic lens. I show how a
user-perspective view can be beneficial to AR magic lens interfaces. I
outline the different approaches to solving the live novel view generation
problem inherent to creating user-perspective views. Then, I present the
methods and algorithms developed for implementing user-perspective magic
lenses. These include depth sensing used for the first prototype device, a
novel real-time semi-dense stereo approach, and an approach aimed at
monocular devices based on densifying semi-dense reconstructions.

Everyone welcome!
