Item A Practical Vision Based Approach to Unencumbered Direct Spatial Manipulation in Virtual Worlds(The Eurographics Association, 2007) Bettio, Fabio; Giachetti, Andrea; Gobbetti, Enrico; Marton, Fabio; Pintore, Giovanni; Raffaele De Amicis and Giuseppe ContiWe present a practical approach for developing interactive environments that allows humans to interact with large complex 3D models without them having to manually operate input devices. The system provides support for scene manipulation based on hand tracking and gesture recognition and for direct 3D interaction with the 3D models in the display space if a suitably registered 3D display is used. Being based on markerless tracking of a user's two hands, the system does not require users to wear any input or output devices. 6DOF input is provided by using both hands simultaneously,making the tracker more robust since only tracking of position information is required. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated with a simple application for model manipulation on a large stereo display, in which rendering constraints are met by employing state-of-the-art multiresolution techniques.Item Medical Visualization with New Generation Spatial 3D Displays(The Eurographics Association, 2007) Agus, Marco; Bettio, Fabio; Gobbetti, Enrico; Pintore, Giovanni; Raffaele De Amicis and Giuseppe ContiIn this paper the capabilities of a modern spatial 3D display are exploited for medical visualization tasks. The systemgives multiple viewers the illusion of seeing virtual objects floating at fixed physical locations. The usage of this kind of display in conjunction with 3D visualization techniques helps disambiguating complex images, so it is proven to be a real advantage for immediate understanding and visualization of medical data.We demonstrate this by reporting on some preliminary test cases of direct volume rendering techniques (Maximum Intensity Projection and X Ray simulation), as well as an example of a collaborative medical diagnostic application for analysis of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.
