MEJMVision: Proposal of experience sharing method for location-based VR

Abstract

The modern virtual reality (hereinafter referred to as “VR”) has been developed more and more and became familiar to the public. Among them, the location-based VR allows the user to easily experience the VR without preparing equipment. There is a problem in the location base VR that it is not known from the audience what the player doing in virtual space. Therefore, in this research we aimed to share experiences between VR player and spectators to solve the problem. We developed MEJMVision, an experiential sharing system that displays the VR space by stereoscopically displaying the player character in field using reflection of light and using multiple flat panel displays as the background.
