Abstract

In the graphics research context, optical cloaking that hides an object by relaying a light field is also a kind of display. Despite much interest in the cloaking, large-size cloaking has not been achieved without some limitations and/or assumptions. To solve this problem, a computational design method is proposed for an optical cloaking display via viewpoint transformation. The method uses two kinds of passive optical elements that transfer a point into a plane symmetric point. In the experiments, a novel passive display was developed that optically cloaks the object and transmits a light field properly. Experimental results for the multiviewpoint scene that was captured are presented.

Occlusion capable optical see-through head-mounted display using freeform optics
ISMAR '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR)

Most state-of-the-art optical see-through head-mounted display (OST-HMD) lacks mutual occlusion capability between computer-rendered and real objects so that the virtual view through an OST-HMD appears “ghost-like”, floating in the real world. In this ...
