HoviTron

The HoviTron technology provides depth cues in Creal’s light-field Head-Mounted Display (HMD) with a software pan-tilt unit processing the data of a static sensor array, allowing the user to dynamically change the view perspective on the scene, both in translations as well as rotations. As a matter of fact, it uses a depth-based virtual view synthesis software pipeline synthesizing any virtual view (monoscopic, stereoscopic and/or light field in Creal’s HMD) in real-time from a couple of cameras set up around the scene.

If you are interested in the evolution of the project from its start, we suggest you to check the public deliverables available on the HoviTron website.

About this website

This website is used for the technical documentation of the HoviTron Video Pipeline. You can find instructions to build and launch the Acquisition and Refinement modules and the View Synthesis module. A brief summary of how the module works is also presented.

You can naviguate though the documentation of each module from the Documentation. For each module, the technical instructions are present in the page Compilation and Launch while the functionning is present in How it works?.

Gitlab Repository

The software materials can be found in the following GitLab repository.
