Enjoy 360° vision with the FlyVIZ

Abstract

FlyVIZ is a novel concept of wearable display device which enables to extend the human field-of-view up to 360°. With the FlyVIZ users can enjoy an artificial omnidirectional vision and see "with eyes behind their back"! The latest version of this approach called "FlyVIZ_v2" that we propose for the SIGGRAPH audience is a novel, compact, and light-weight prototype based on consumer-grade and on-the-shelf components. It assembles: a smartphone, a panoramic mirror, and an Oculus head-mounted-display in order to process a live video stream of the user's surroundings and provide a real-time omnidirectional image. We propose SIGGRAPH attendees to test this unique sensory experience, and this new kind of augmented vision.
