Gesture controlled interactive rendering in a panoramic scene

Abstract

The demonstration described hereafter covers technical work carried out in the FascinatE project [1], related to the interactive retrieval and rendering of high-resolution panoramic scenes. The scenes have been captured by a special panoramic camera (the OMNICAM) [2] with is capturing high resolution video featuring a wide angle (180 degrees) field of view. Users can access the content by interacting based on a novel device-less and markerless gesture-based system that allows them to interact as naturally as possible, permitting the user to control the rendering of the scene by zooming, panning or framing through the panoramic scene
