Project Details

"In Object-Oriented Displays, users perceive and operate a virtual object as if it were real." 
 
Based upon article illustrations, projections and/or displays wrapped around physical objects give a physical context for the viewer (for example, a computer skeletal model is made visible "through" the chest of an individual wearing the display). 
 
"Design and implementation of three types of object-oriented displays are demonstrated: MEDIA-Ace, a liquid crystal display (LCD) and position sensor; MEDIA-Cube, a position sensor and four LCDs arranged in the shape of a cubic body; and MEDIA-Crystal, which uses optical projection."
