Automatic Population of Scenarios with Augmented Virtuality

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new augmented virtuality framework where the synthetic scenario is populated with the information coming from the real-world. Our proposal is based on a smart camera which processes the images to detect objects. With this information, our framework relies on the collisions of the optical rays with the scenario to locate the detected objects. Our solution is also capable of handling situations where objects are piled on others.
