Abstract of “Encumbrance-free Telepresence System with Real-time 3D Capture and Display using Commodity Depth Cameras”
We introduce a proof-of-concept telepresence system that offers fully dynamic, real-time 3D scene capture and continuous-viewpoint, head-tracked stereo 3D display without requiring the user to wear any tracking or viewing apparatus. We present a complete software and hardware framework for [...]
