WP4 - Modeling and rendering

Workpackage 4 will implement the methodological (theoretical, algorithmic and computational) components which are necessary to implement the demonstrators and therefore to reach the ultimate target of the IMMERSENCE project. The activities to be carried out can be classified into three interconnected groups. The first part concentrates on the visual appearance of the grasped object and develops techniques allowing to record the appearance of the complete object even if it is partly occluded by the hand. At the same time algorithms will be created for the interpolation of the recorded appearance for non-seen situations. The second group of activities will address similar issues for the haptic part of the interaction. Finally, augmented reality systems will be created and investigated both theoretically and algorithmically in order to implement and test interactions in enhanced reality environments.
