A research team from the University of British Columbia and the University of Saskatchewan has created a beautifully shaped crystal ball display that can generate 3D images for up to two simultaneous users, for ball-end conference calls and new 3D Multiplayer games cleared the way.
The 24-inch crystal ball uses four precisely calibrated high-speed projectors to create a spherical image. Up to two participants can use the lightweight, trackable crossover glasses to see different images within the ball. The system dynamically tracks the user's position based on the position relative to the crystal ball, effectively producing a separate image for each observer, all of which will be projected onto the surface of the ball together, and the glasses will filter out the view other than the user's own view. All pictures. The team plans to develop a design that will support up to four viewers in the future.
When it comes to the remote communication screen built by the crystal ball, it seems that the other party only needs to use one camera. This makes us believe that no matter where the user goes in the room, the head of the crystal ball will point directly to the user, and the user will not be able to walk around behind the ball and see the back of the other side. In addition, the crystal ball provides touch interaction across the entire surface of the screen. At present, this crystal ball is still in the research stage, and it has not yet been determined when it will become a commodity sale.
