Punch3D - An Interactive Environment Modeling Method for Indoor Collaboration

Abstract

The authors aim to realize a practical collaboration environment between remote users using wearable computing and mixed realit (MR) technology. The authors have proposed "Punch3D" for modeling real space as simplified and realistic 3D model. The modeling using "Punch3D" is performed following two steps; 1) making simple model using portable omni-directional camera and 2) modifying the model the user want to fix anytime. This paper describes about a modeling experiment using high-resolution camera and shows the accuracy about the tracking of the user.
