Virtualized reality: Constructing virtual worlds from real scenes
IEEE multimedia, 1997•ieeexplore.ieee.org
A new visual medium, Virtualized Reality, immerses viewers in a virtual reconstruction of
real-world events. The Virtualized Reality world model consists of real images and depth
information computed from these images. Stereoscopic reconstructions provide a sense of
complete immersion, and users can select their own viewpoints at view time, independent of
the actual camera positions used to capture the event.
