Abstract

We present OrbeVR, a handheld concave spherical perspective-corrected display. OrbeVR displays combined images projected by multiple calibrated high-performance laser pico-projectors positioned inside a translucent sphere. Users position and OrbeVR are tracked, so the spherical display renders head-coupled perspectives with stereoscopic depth cues. OrbeVR is an extremely compact, lightweight and small Virtual Reality spherical display based on multiprojection technology. This emerging Virtual Reality technology enables exciting interactive display devices comparable to snow-globes.
