One Day BMVA symposium in London, UK on Wednesday 6th May 2015
Chairs: Manuela Chessa & Fabio Solari
Keynote speakers:
Dr. Tae-Kyun Kim (Imperial College London) and Guido Maiello (University College London)
The gap between computer vision and computer graphics is the main cause of perceptual problem in existing virtual/augmented/mixed reality techniques. Computer vision is fundamental in order to implement effective systems that allow a natural interaction of the users in virtual reality environments. Allowing people to act without experiencing the misperception issues such as the wrong perception of objects’ shape, distances, depth, or visual stress and fatigue.
