Super multi-view 3D video system and demonstration experiments

Abstract

We investigate highly realistic communication systems using a super-multi-view three-dimensional (3D) video system. We propose and develop a glasses-free 200-view 3D display using almost 200 high-definition (HD) projector units to reconstruct such natural life-size 3D moving objects as cars and humans. We are also developing a 3D capturing system with small HD camera units to capture real moving objects. We started a social demonstration experiments for the highly realistic communication system by introducing the multi-view 3D video systems in a new development area north of the Osaka station, called the UMEKITA area, in April 2013.
