Martin Naef, Digital Design Studio, The Glasgow School of Art "Concurrent Projection and Acquisition" Friday 19th October 2007, 2-3pm Room 1:10, Kilburn Building The University of Manchester This talk presents a line of work that combines digital projection systems with user acquisition. The blue-c tele-presence system for the first time combined real-time 3D user acquisition with an immersive projection system to enable a full 3D real-time remote avatar. Despite the technical break-through, the original blue-c acquisition system was not widely deployed due to its significant complexity and resource requirements. Instead, the tele-presence idea was further developed by scaling it down into a more affordable system that could be retrofitted to existing spatially immersive displays. Inverting the original problem, the Living Canvas initiative finally aims to restrict projection onto a performer on stage. It brings the concepts and technology from the aforementioned tele-presence systems into a completely new and exciting application domain.
