Low-quality youtube video, showing the old point-based reconstruction method. The displayed 3D video stream is a recording of a collaborative modern dance experiment between UC Berkeley and University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Only the stream going from Berkeley to Illinois was recorded.
Movie from a real-time collaboration experiment between UC Davis and UC Berkeley. The video was shot in UC Davis' KeckCAVES environment, and the incoming 3D video stream shows a person using the capturing space at UC Berkeley. In this experiment, we ran the 3D video system alongside a collaborative VR application that allows two or more users from remote sites to interact with the same block of "Virtual Jell-O." The user in KeckCAVES uses a tracked wand to interact with the Jell-O, whereas the remote user uses two tracked data gloves. This was an experimental set-up, filmed during the first time ever used, and the data gloves on the UC Berkeley side did not work well, leading to the fumbling visible in the video.
Movie from a more recent collaboration experiment, where users from KeckCAVES and IDAV's VR lab jointly explore a 3D gridded dataset using a shared version of 3D Visualizer. The experiment uses a real-time 3D video connection to map the remote user into the local user's virtual space, to support intuitive and natural interaction.
