3D with 2D images

Project preview

Creating a 3D effect can be done with 2D screens only (and a tracker). By following the head of the viewer and adapting the image based on the viewpoint, we create a “window” effect, where it seems the viewer is looking through the screen to a 3D scene. The adapted images are either rendered as a 3D model, or recreated real images using view interpolation.

Setups

Virtual twin of a 3D scanned object in VR (no 3D model, we show the correct image per viewpoint)

(Video starts at the virtual twin, check out the rest before the video for the scanner)

Single screen

3 sides (2 walls and the floor) Example

We also realized this in WebGL, for a realtime 3D rendering Example Example
