Marcus Hutter and Stephen Gould will demonstrate their $10 Virtual Reality Glasses at the Australian National University in Canberra, 4pm, 13 February 2014: http://cecs.anu.edu.au/seminars/more/SID/3444
The DIY 3D Virtual Reality Glasses are built using a smart phone: http://www.hutter1.net/puzzles/3dvrglass.htm This is being promoted as a project for students: http://cecs.anu.edu.au/projects/pid/0000001002 It occurs to me that this is something which should work well with one of the new smart phones with a curved screen. The case to hold the phone could be manufactured with a 3D printer and the project crowd-funded. --- ABSTRACT: 3D television and 3D cinema are becoming wide-spread, but 3D Virtual Reality goggles (or glasses), despite being a many decades old idea, are just receiving increased attention. The few commercial devices available don't sell well, in parts due to price, but a cheap alternative has emerged: A modern SmartPhone, two lenses for under 10$ and some cardboard and glue is all you need to build your own 3D-VR goggles. Marcus will bring his to the seminar for you to try out, and will share his experience in building and using them. Stephen will discuss potential computer vision applications and student projects. ... --- -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
