Interactive Viewpoint Tracking Window: Intuitive Perception and Interactive Experience Optimization of Smart Window Views

Abstract

The screen has always acted like a picture, conveying the existence from the other side. Like a window, the screen opens a passage from this world to another world. By allowing the viewer to experience relief from the gloomy feeling in the claustrophobic space, this study has explored the feedback received from the viewer after viewing the scenery from the interactive virtual window. The prototype technology has adopted HTC VIVE Tracker to implement an interactive virtual window with viewpoint tracking and perspective reconstruction. When operating the window, the viewers can open the window with different shapes and change the perspective to observe the different scenery outside the window to observe the perceptual effects of different types of window frames and sceneries on the viewer. This study aims to explore the perceptive changes of viewers after experiencing the immersive smart window to optimize the smart window's user experience.
