Previewed Reality: Near-Future Perception System for Informationally Structured Environment

—System Setup and Experiments using Immersive VR Display—

Abstract

In this paper, we present a near future perception system named “Previewed Reality”. We integrate an immersive VR display, a stereo camera and a dynamic simulator into our informationally structured environment(ISE) platform for service robot. In ISE, a human wearing the immersive VR display can see the next possible events as virtual images overlaid on a real scene. We demonstrated that the proposed system can allow a human and a robot to coexist more safely.
