Titel
The i-Cone TM - a panoramic display system for virtual environments
Abstract
We present the i-Cone TM : a new projection-based panoramic display system for virtual environments. The i-Cone TM uses conical screen geometry, resulting in optimized projector placement to create an extended workspace for standing participants in afront projection curved screen display with a very large continuous field of view. Improved acoustical properties of the conical screen geometry enable the use of immersive spatial audio. Combined with the excellent visual quality and homogeneity of a curved screen display, these properties make the i-Cone TM an attractive display system for immersive virtual environments, suitable for larger audiences. Interaction paradigms and application examples for this new immersive display system are presented.
