Virtual Video Prototyping

Pervasive computing applications are characterized by the fact that computing power is an integrated part of our physical environment, and since our physical environment is three-dimensional, the virtual studio technology, with its unique potential for visualizing digital 3D objects and environments along with physical objects, offers an obvious path to pursue in order to envision future usage scenarios in the domain of pervasive computing. We label the use of this kind of visualization virtual video prototyping.

Specific productions
performance labHand Held Display
In an X-ray-like manner a handheld display reveals the insides of closed objects by displaying digital 3D representations of what is behind their surfaces.
