EECS SEMINAR: "Unconstrained Multi-Projector Displays"

"Unconstrained Multi-Projector Displays"
Early generations of tiled multi-projector displays were expensive, driven by cost prohibitive monolithic rendering machines which justified the use of expensive rigid optical and mechanical infrastructure to register the images from the many projectors. Current generation multi-projector displays use commodity projectors, are driven by inexpensive PC clusters, and hence are very affordable. To support scalability, common due to reduced cost, automatic camera-based registration techniques have been explored in the last decade. But, despite the low cost and the supposed flexibility imparted by the automated registration, these displays are still quarantined to hi-tech environments that can provide a critical mass of 'educated' users. This is due to two reasons. First, these displays are still very constrained in terms of the devices, environment and architecture used, resulting in an utterly complicated deployment, unreasonable to expect of 'layman' users. Second, perfect seamlessness is yet to be successfully achieved in these, especially when built of commodity products. This talk presents the advances made to remove such constraints and bring in an hitherto unrealized ease in deployment that can be achieved by almost anyone. Methodologies will be presented that allow imperfect/uncalibrated devices, flexible driving architecture, and new generation devices and still achieve perceptually seamless displays. Thus, we advance the frontiers towards self-calibrating, flexible, reconfigurable and hence truly scalable displays.
