Hello dear OSG-community, I am a PhD student researching immersive stereo related work. (I have other experience, but I won't bore you here, search for "Sean C.M. Hill" on linked-in if you are curious)
As I approach the end of my second year of PhD I now have a fully working (albeit somewhat slow) multi-screen (14 in fact) head-tracked (vicon tracker over VRPN) stereo (Quad-bufferred) immersive system running using ONLY OSG libraries and on a single multi-GFX machine. I can't post links yet (new forum user) but if you want to see a video of an old alpha test in mono (because seeing is believing) then get on youtube and look for "University of Salford PhD: Alpha test 2" or paste in YiKFHl7E0b4 as the youtube ID no. At the moment I am clutching my code to my chest because it's a PhD and originality is everything here but would like to share my work with everyone once I have written the all-important papers and so-forth because open-source rocks. In the meantime I was wondering if there was any interest in this and thought I would make myself known and just say Hi! :) Feel free to say Hi! back :D Kind regards, Sean --------------------------------------------------------------------------- FYI: I built this lovely bit of code over two years (?!) because I am eccentric and love portable, clean code and it -really- annoyed me that OSG points us all away to 3rd party implementations for this kind of thing. I actually built it as a test platform for investigating things like interface useability in 3D space, command centre development and immersive design and CAD. If any of that interests you then, well, I will be posting that on various channels over the coming year (2015). BUT. Be warned now, University research work is like an iceberg: Really slow and mostly hidden underwater... and also pretty immense :) So be patient. PS: I also have a quad-buffered fakery idea in the works so any old ordinary GFX card and half-decent monitor (fast refresh/pixeldecay) can run shutter glasses albeit with some limitations. I am short on time for pursuing that right now but might also interest someone? PPS: What the heck is an 'Octave?' : The Octave is a unique environment at the University of Salford consisting of 8 rear wall projectors in an octagon and 6 down-facing ceiling projectors plus lots of other toys. It allows for total-immersion AKA Tron/Holodeck/Rumble-room. It's a bit like a CAVE (you can search-engine that one) but a lot cooler. ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=61642#61642 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
