Ensphered Vision : Spherical Immersive Display using Convex Mirror

Abstract

This paper describes about spherical immersive display using convex mirror. Our display provides seamless image that totally surrounds a viewer. In order to construct the system, we designed optical configuration of display through the virtual projector that simulates behavior of projected light. The prototype display based on the optical design provides 360 degree horizontal and 115 degree vertical image. This optical configuration has an advantage in displaying video image. Then we also developed a camera head with convex mirror, which corrects distortion of displayed image.
