A Design of State Acquisition Function Using Range Image Sensor for 3D Symbiotic Space

Abstract

We are aiming for realization of a 3D symbiotic space system that supports effective interaction among users in a real space and avatars in a virtual space by fusing both spaces sensuously. As described in this paper, we explain the improved design of a state acquisition function for the 3D symbiotic space system, which acquires the states of real space users to synchronize the states of virtual space avatars with them. Specifically, we propose a method to acquire the detailed behavior of real space users using a range image sensor. Through quantitative and qualitative experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method for improving sensations for a 3D symbiotic space system.
