Abstract
Technical realization of a semi-automation system is researched that is designed to reposition a 360 degrees camera in space to capture images, that can be turned into various kinds of stereoscopic 360 degree panoramas in VR. The concept of a bigger off-center distance has been proposed for these recorded images and this stereoscopic image synthesis method has been tested, with three other methods in regards of Comfort, Depth and Realism. A test focused on gathering ordinal data has been conducted on 24 people and the results have proven this display method significantly the best against nearly every other display method. The camera-positioning semi-automated system turned out to be an improvement in comparison to the earlier model.
