Program Purpose:

Immersive virtual reality is gaining acceptance in entertainment and for business. One of the great challenges inx000D
virtual reality is providing high quality three-dimensional content of real-world events. In this collaboration,x000D
research on the creation of three-dimensional content creation will target a special patented camerax000D
configuration which promises to simplify and speed-up the content-creation process. This patented camerax000D
configuration of three or six cameras each providing a hemispherical view provides enough redundancyx000D
creating the opportunity to make significant improvements to real-time three-dimensional content creation. Thex000D
goal of this project is to be able to capture real-world events which then can be visualized while navigatingx000D
through the event. This is to enable a viewer to move through a virtual reality environment while looking inx000D
any direction which is commonly referred to as six-dimensional visualization.
