Abstract :
In this paper, we present the prototype of our developed cylindrical interactive display, CINDY. It is an advanced version of our previous proposed omnidirectional display, Omni-Tube. In addition to the advantages of ease of use, low production cost, high portability and mobility that Omni-Tube possesses, CINDY greatly improves accuracy of the motion detection module and is able to give the users more precise control for interacting. Our system consists of three functional parts: one is an optical device that is designed in such a way as to be easily mounted to any commercial micro projector, another is a rotation IR motion detection module that is responsible to locate users´ positions, the other is an image transformation algorithm that manages the optical distortions. CINDY is suitable for various applications, such as virtual interactive exhibition in a museum or interactive games. We believe CINDY will have a significant promise for low-cost portable 3D display.
