Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we reexamined more effective use of projective display hardware to propose a cost-effective stereoscopic display system. A novel method relying primarily on psychological factors of depth perception, mainly through shadowing & shading and motion parallax, was presented to easily generate high-resolution and bright enough 3D images, which are perceivable with the naked eyes of a personnel only with orthogonally-arranged multiple general-purpose display monitors. The system builds upon the principle of anamorphosis to render the partial images of an input object projected to each of the display monitors, and updates the displayed image fragments in real time according as the position of the user's eyes captured by a webcamera. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through user evaluation experiments with eye-tracking facility.
