Project Hammerhead

Motivation

Background- VR and Computer Graphics Tools

Depth Perception Monocular Clues -Provide depth information when viewing in one eye.• Perspective, Relative Size of objects.• Motion Parallex.

Binucular Clues -Provide depth information when viewing in both eyes.• Stereopsis – Triangulation.• Convergence

Background- Panorama

Paul Bourke Algoritm Stereoscopic Cylindrical 360 Panorama

❖ Creating for each eye a cylinrical panorma, which is made by slices.

❖ Each Slice is Rendered by a rotated camera.

Algorithm - Stereoscopic Cylindrical 360 Panorama❖ Alignment the sterescope panorma the stereoscope panorams according to

the camera configuration.

❖ Two possible topologies: Parallel Configure - alignment is needed Toe-In Configure - panoramas already aligned
