Abstract:

This report describes the experiments that were carried out in December 2009 at VRVis to demonstrate how blind (or blindfolded) persons can be assisted by computer-based tracking and feedback systems. The positions of the user are tracked precisely in six degrees of freedom (three dimensions position and rotation) using three infrared cameras. Feedback is generated by the use of a 3D headset. This report describes in how the set-up was created, and suggestions are also included for continuation work.
