PhD in mobile stereoscopic 3D VR system
The goal of this project is to develop
and evaluate a mobile stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality
system. It will investigate cutting edge media technology to develop immersive
visualization and composition system for 3D Mixed Reality content. The project
will involve designing and developing an immersive display system and software
tools to provide live 3D experience to the end users where they can interact
with the synthetic environment composited from real and virtual scenes. The
application area for the system is entertainment and education. The system will
not only playback content, but will also be able to record audio and 3D visual
data.
