Project Overview

MultiView: A Shared, High-Information Density Display, Supporting Multiple Individualized Views

MultiView is a multiple-viewer, immersive, interactive, large-screen environment. At the heart of the system is a TI Digital Light Projector(TM) that can produce time-multiplexed stereo images for several users without flicker and at a high frame rate. The users wear shuttered glasses that separate the time-multiplexed color channels. Currently we can separate the three color channels, providing a monochrome stereo view for one user and a single color monocular view for a second user. These results encourage us to extend this projector technology's capabilities to support dramatically higher frame rates, thereby supporting two or more simultaneously active users, each receiving the proper (and thus distinct) stereo image pair during each frame time. This contrasts to traditional Cave implementations [CRUZ93], which track only one of multiple viewers, and should be an improvement over the recent achievement of the Stanford group's tracking of two users of the responsive workbench.
