VISIE: A spatially immersive interaction environment using real-time human measurement
Divesh Lala, Toyoaki Nishida · 2011
In this paper we present VISIE, a software used to create immersive environments which utilize social and cultural interaction. We use the concept of a spatially immersive display to project information about the virtual world to the user in all directions. The user is able to interact in this world using spatial cognition as they do in the real world. So far, a pressure sensor has been integrated into the system to allow the user to navigate through the environment by walking in place. Additionally, multiple displays can be connected to allow users to communicate with each other in the virtual world. We also outline how we can evaluate and use this system by designing scenarios and experiments. Further work to improve the prototype includes using infrared sensors to track human gesture and behavior that can in turn influence the environment.
