The Parallax View

Project from Peder Norrby is an IphoneX visual toy using TrueDepth facetracking to produce a Trompe-l'œil effect of depth from the position of your head:

Yes it’s ARKit face tracking and #madewithunity ... basically non-symmetric camera frustum / off-axis projection.

The app is currently in review, but Peder plans to release the code to Github in the future for developers to experiment with.

For Patreon backers, Examples from the Prosthetic Knowledge archive of projects and experiences that employ anamorphosis, an optical illusion of depth from flat surfaces dependent on viewing angle, with modern technological means such as positioning sensors or head tracking software, and all of which are in debt to the Wiimote positional tracking work produced by Johnny Chung Lee.

Proxie is a telepresence robot designed and built from scratch. It is still under development. It uses 2 color cameras for eyes which wirelessly relay a stereoscopic (side-by-side) image to a virtual-reality style helmet also built from scratch. The helmet has a 1280x800 resolution video display, a Parallax Propeller microcontroller and an inertial measurement unit for real-time head tracking. It uses Xbee antennas for RC control.

DOORS

Installation by Theoriz is a doorway that leads to virtual perceptions, utilizating head tracking to provide convincing perspective to participating observer:

"If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."  - William Blake

Doors is an ongoing research work from our R&D department.

Between reality and virtuality, we are playing with the feeling of perception and infinite space. In this setup we had a real time anamorphic custom software computing the perspective of the nearest person. Through a 4 channel immersive and 3D spatialized sound, people could experience and discover virtual audioreactive landscapes by simply moving in space.
