Interactive Stereoscopic Authoring in MR-Based Pre-visualization for 3D Filmmaking

Abstract

This paper presents a mixed reality (MR) based system for on-set pre-visualization (PreViz) of stereoscopic 3D (S3D) films. PreViz refers to simple computer-generated shots created in the preproduction phase (before shooting). In terms of stereography, this preparation enables stereographers to design S3D effects on the screen and camera-work using rather cheap computer graphics (CG). However, how a scene actually looks like in S3D are unknown until the production phase on-site. Therefore, we propose a system, which enables users to visualize expected results in the preproduction phase instead of the usual production phase. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
