CG Museum Capable of Automatic Exhibit of Favorite Images : Toward the Automatic Generation of Customizable Virtual Museum

Abstract

We have developed a Virtual Museum with real-time 3DCG with a capability of exhibiting planar artifacts such as paintings just by choosing image files to be displayed. The artifact images are appropriately aligned on the wall and each picture has its picture frame and an automatically made caption. The museum space is realistically modeled with high resolution in sophisticated illumination where a user can wallcthrough within the space to feel its ambience like a real museum experience.
