Multi-view Video Navigation Using Motion Sensing Remote Controllers
Hari Kalva, Chris Holder · 2008
The goal of Multi-view Video Coding is to allow coding of multiple camera views such that the user has the freedom of choosing the view point. While there have been significant efforts in multi-view compression, the work on navigation has been limited. The biggest challenge here is in developing user friendly and intuitive navigation of multi-view content. We propose a system which consists of multi-view video player and a motion sensing remote controller. Motion sensing remote controllers became widely available with the introduction of the Nintendo Wii game console. The remote controller captures motion when waved and the motion information is used to change the views in multi view video applications. This system gives users a convenient way of navigating through the multiple views by waving the remote in the desired direction.
