Instant Visual 3D Worlds Through Split-Lohmann Displays

3305 Newell-Simon Hall

Abstract: Split-Lohmann displays provide a novel approach to creating instant visual 3D worlds that support realistic eye accommodation. Unlike commercially available VR headsets that show content at a fixed depth, the proposed display can optically place each pixel region to a different depth, instantly creating eye-tracking-free 3D worlds without using time-multiplexing. This enables real-time streaming [...]

Vectorizing Raster Signals for Spatial Intelligence

3305 Newell-Simon Hall

Abstract: This seminar will focus on how vectorized representations can be generated from raster signals to enhance spatial intelligence. I will discuss the core methodology behind this transformation, with a focus on applications in AR/VR and robotics. The seminar will also briefly cover follow-up work that explores rigging and re-animating objects from casual single videos [...]
