Abstract

TransCAIP is a live 3D TV system using an array of 64 cameras and an integral photography display with 60 viewing directions. The dynamic 3D scene in front of the camera array is reproduced on the full-color, full-parallax autostereoscopic display in real time. The system also enables us to interactively control rendering parameters of the displayed scene for providing desirable viewing conditions.
