「新型單槍全方位投影系統之開發研究」的研究目的為,以低成本及合理的軟硬體及控制架構,使用單一攝影機建構出全方位影像(Omni-directional image),再將全方位影像投射在環形布幕上,及時呈現遠端的場景,成為一全方位投影系統(Omni-directional Projecting System);操作者可藉由全方位投影系統觀賞到360度的場景,有如身歷其境一般。 本研究使用自製的圓錐鏡,搭配一般型攝影機和投影機,即可完成低成本的全方位攝影系統和全方位投影系統之製作。全方位投影系統使操作者的視野更為寬廣,取代傳統2D 投影機,改善視角不足和畫面不連續的缺點;另外,節省空間,改善傳統監控系統使用多支投影機和多台閉錄電視監控同一空間場景,造成浪費空間的缺點;最後,也改善了以往操作者在使用Eye-Trek時,所產生頭部暈眩的情形。 全方位投影系統可與互動式動感模擬器(Haptic Interactive Motion Simulator)結合,操作者除了感受到遠端的視覺和聽覺上的回饋外,也可感受到觸覺上的動感回饋,使操作者獲得更趨近於實際情形的感受;另外,此項研究也可運用在行動不便者身上,使其達到在家也能出外旅遊世界各地的目的。
The purpose of the research “A Study on the Development of a New Single Beam Omni-directional Projecting System” is the development of the omni-directional images by using the single beam projector which is combining with the low cost and reasonable hardware and software. We can project the 360 degrees images to the cylinder screen in space through the omni-directional projecting system and make a Tele-present immediately. The operator can see the 360 degrees omni-directional images which is liked immersion in the actual situation. In this research, we developed the low cost omni-directional projecting system by combining the self-made cone mirror with the general projector. It makes the operator’s view be wider and replaces the traditional projector to improve the fault that a visual angel is not enough and the images are discontinuous. Moreover, the omni-directional projecting system not only saves space but also improves the fault of traditional monitor system which is used more projectors and closed-circuit televisions to monitor the same space that cause to waste space. Otherwise, it would not make the operator feel dizzy by using omni-directional projecting system to replace the Eye-Trek. The omni-directional projecting system can combine with the haptic interactive motion simulator. Thus, the operator feels not only the feedback of the vision and hearing but also the motion feedback of the sense of touch. It makes the operator get closer to the feelings of the actual situation. Otherwise, this research also uses on elders with handicaps and makes them travel all over the world at home.
