Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we have been developing a novel fog display system that enables users to observe a virtual object from multiple viewpoints. The proposed display consists of one cylindrical fog screen and multiple surrounding projectors. User's head movement around the cylindrical fog screen arises motion parallax that helps 3D recognition of a shape of the virtual object. Projection of images captured by multiple surrounding cameras enforces presence of the virtual object. This immaterial display has another advantage that the display enables direct touching operation to the virtual objects by users' hands. Consistency of visual and somatic sensation increases the reality of the virtual object.
