Interactive exhibition with ambience using video avatar and animation on huge screen

Abstract

In this paper, we develop an interactive exhibition system using a video avatar and an animation on huge screen. As the video avatar, we extract background images from recorded video stream using Chroma key and send the stream to remote using TCP/UDP protocols. The animation on huge screen provides immersion and ambience of the ages of displays. We restore clothes, ceremony, crowd, etc. using computer animation. 4K resolution projector with 300 inch screen is used in our system and it makes viewers to feel the ambience of the environment when and where the displays existed. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
