Holographic vision for immersive tele-robotic operation
HoviTron - Holographic Vision for Immersive Tele-Robotic OperatioN – develops all hardware and software modules for replacing conventional, stereoscopic Head Mounted Displays (HMD) with a Light Field HMD that provides Holographic Vision with perfect Eye Accommodation and Vergence for ergonomic and Immersive Tele-Robotic Operation. The scene in which the robot operates will be captured by an array of conventional cameras and/or light field cameras to recreate - in real-time - the proper light field in the HMD of the tele-operator steering the robot. The project also aims at evaluating the benefits of such Light Field HMD for the tele-operator, who is expected to experience a more comfortable and less tiring workload than with a conventional, stereoscopic HMD.
