MR TV Mozaik: A New Mixed Reality Interactive TV Experience

Technicolor has been investigating how Mixed Reality technology could impact the future of home entertainment. We have designed and implemented a system to extend a standard TV experience with AR content, using a consumer tablet or a headset. A virtual TV mosaic is displayed around the TV screen and used as a GUI to control both TV and MR content. Using this interface, the user is able to switch TV content, display meta-data in AR (subtitles, text information or program guide), enhance TV content with interactive 3D objects blended in the environment, or play a game in interaction with the real world. The interactions between the real and the virtual worlds are handled thanks to a scene analysis pre-processing stage, which provides information about both the geometry and the lighting of the real environment. The real-virtual interactions strongly contribute to reinforcement of the immersion feeling. User feedback shows that the concept is very promising.

In this work we propose several full-color metagrating solutions for single waveguide-based Augmented and Virtual Reality near-eye display systems. The presented solutions are based on a combination of reflective and/or transmissive diffraction gratings inside or outside a waveguide. The proposed designs have high intensity across a wide angular range. Applying...

Facial caricature is the art of drawing faces in an exaggerated way to convey emotions such as humor or sarcasm. Automatic caricaturization has been explored both in the 2D and 3D domain. In this paper, we present the first study of facial mesh caricaturization techniques. In addition to a user...
