Augmented Reality (AR) is a technol- ogy where the view of the real world is superimposed, in real time, with virtual objects, augmenting the information available to the user

This paper presents the virtual reality applications that the Foundation of the Hellenic World has produced associated with the Olympic Games in ancient Greece.. The separate

The reconstruction of the actor model consists of finding the silhouette of the actor viewed by each camera and using these to estimate the 3D shape of the full body.. We describe

Augmented Reality technologies provide a seamless interaction with both real and virtual worlds, so that the player can see the real world with superim- posed 3D graphical

Displaying large crowds of high quality virtual characters with deformable clothing is not possible in real-time at present because of the cost of rendering the thousands of

For example, when a camera follows a moving boat, detailed waves are created in it’s neighborhood, while the infinite ocean surface with ambient waves outside of the simulation grid

Nevertheless, this was caused by most users inexperi- ence with immersive virtual reality environments, wasting more time exploring the virtual space, navigating and view- ing the
