Project Details
- "This project proposes a head-mounted projector (HMP) using the X'tal Vision (Crystal Vision) technology that was demonstrated in Enhanced Realities at SIGGRAPH 98. With X'tal vision (a projector with a small iris and a retroreflective screen), users can observe stereoscopic images with an almost-correct occlusion relationship between the virtual and the real environment."
- The demonstrated applications include:
- - a transparent human body with visible skeleton
- - a paper-type display
- - optical camouflage suitable for visuo-haptic integrated display
