I1.3: Invited Paper: Immersive Applications based on Depth‐Imaging and 3D‐Sensing Technology

The recent developments in depth-imaging and 3D computer vision techniques allow efficient and real-time acquisition, reconstruction, and understanding of the 3D environment, which enable an array of life-like and immersive applications. We show here an excerpt of some of the key technologies spanning sensors, algorithms, and system integration based on depth imaging and 3D sensing technology. The small form factor, the low power and the real-time depth image capture are the key enablers. We talk here about emerging trends in this burgeoning field and new enabled applications that include immersive and interactive gaming, virtual home and office decoration, virtual cloth fitting, video conferencing with custom background and synthetic environment, education and training, and numerous other new entertainment and productivity usages with natural and intuitive interactions.
