Objectives
The aim of this project is to improve lightweight near-to-the-eye displays and tiled stereoscopic large size displays. The improvements on the hardware level consist in developing a unique stereoscopic head mounted display (HMD) using emerging display technology such as OLEDs. For tiled stereoscopic large screen displays improved calibration techniques will be developed to ease and accelerate their use. On the software level improvements comprise the fidelity of the content to be displayed (rendering quality), the interfacing between the user and the displays through innovative 2D/3D interaction techniques for mixed realities and advanced tracking systems. The achievements of IMPROVE are integrated into a collaborative mixed reality product development environment, showcased and evaluated in two application scenarios: collaborative product design in the car industry and architectural design.
