Enhanced Remote Viewing Capabilities from a Camera Array

The project will entail one or more of the following activities, depending in part by which elements are completed in the summer of 2014.

– adding “last mile support” for rendering 3D stereoscopic display from the dual-interpolated views we’re able to generate
– implementing a dynamic camera-swapping selection mechanism based on the current set of requested viewpoints to achieve maximum quality and smoothness as users move between views
– evaluating the limits of scalability of competing rendering architectures, in which interpolation is carried out client-side rather than server-side
– incorporating recording functionality so that a sufficient subset of the camera outputs can be saved for on-demand viewing of the sessions at a later date
