Exploration of Large Omnidirectional Images in Immersive Environments

摘要: Navigation is a major challenge in exploring data within immersive environments, especially of large omnidirectional spherical images. We propose method auto-scaling to allow users navigate using teleportation the safe boundary their physical environment with different levels focus. Our combines navigation virtual teleportation. also “peek then warp” behavior when zoom lens and evaluate our system conjunction transitions, including proposed transition for exploration 360-degree panoramic imagery, termed Envelop, wherein destination view expands out from completely envelop user. In this work, we focus on visualizing navigating or images application GIS visualization as an inside-out image earth. conducted two user studies techniques over search comparison task. results illustrate advantages environment.
