[4eyes] MS Project Presentation

[Shwetha Ram]

Hi,
I'll be presenting my MS project today at 2 PM in ESB 2001.

Title: Retargeting Virtual Worlds

Committee: Prof. Matthew Turk, Prof. Tobias Hollerer, Prof. Pradeep Sen

Abstract

How do we present a VR experience to a user in the comfort of the living
room?

The proliferation of several HMDs and the VR experiences they bring with
them promise to take us a step forward from being surrounded by a virtual
world to presence, the feeling of actually being there. But while the user
is ‘there’, he or she is actually here in the physical environment,
navigating a way through obstacles. Instead of asking the user to first
find a large enough space devoid of obstacles, a scheme to ‘retarget’ a
virtual world to a given physical environment is presented. Semantic
relationships between objects are extracted from the virtual world. The
retargeting aims to position the virtual world objects such that these
semantic relationships are preserved and the match with the geometry of the
physical environment is maximized.


Everyone Welcome!
