TWISTER: A Media Booth
Telexistence Wide-Angle Immersive STEReoscope (TWISTER)
is an immersive, full-color autostereoscopic display that
allows people in distant locations to communicate as if
they were in the same virtual 3D space.
Innovation
360-degree autostereoscopic display.
Vision
The basic idea of mutual telexistence is projection of
human beings into a virtual environment in real time.
Each user stands inside a booth that displays live, full-color
panoramic and autostereoscopic images and, at the same
time, captures images of the user from every angle. In
this context, autostereoscopic means there are no obstacles
to hide the user's face, so it can be clearly seen. From
multiple booths, people at remote locations can meet as
if they were close at hand.
