Flexible Registration of Multiple Displays

Published:03 June 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we describe a framework to configure multi-display setups for pervasive display applications. We explain our methods and test them with a simple setup consisting of a large display wall and a mobile tablet computer. We use these displays to provide an off-axis view into a virtual scene for a single viewer. Our approach requires a tracking system, which provides the position and orientation of at least one trackable marker and, depending on the display setup, the appropriate combination of our methods to perform the 3D registration. Our contribution is a framework providing flexible and exact methods to allow for an efficient registration of stationary and movable displays in common 3D tracking environments, where the stationary displays can also be located outside the tracking area. Our methods are compared and discussed based on several screen registration experiments conducted in our facilities.
