Applications of visual perception to virtual reality rendering (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Patney, A., Zannoli, M., Koulieris, G.-A., Kim, J., Wetzstein, G., & Steinicke, F. (2023, July). Applications of visual perception to virtual reality rendering. Presented at ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Courses, Los Angeles, California, USA

Over the past few years, virtual reality (VR) has transitioned from the realm of expensive research prototypes and military installations into widely available consumer devices. These devices enable experiences that are highly immersive and entertain... Read More about Applications of visual perception to virtual reality rendering.

Focus-tunable and fixed lenses and stereoscopic 3D displays (Conference Presentation) (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Banks, M. S., Johnson, P., Kim, J., Koulieris, G. A., Drettakis, G., & Gordon, L. (2017, April). Focus-tunable and fixed lenses and stereoscopic 3D displays (Conference Presentation). Presented at Emerging Liquid Crystal Technologies XII, San Francisco, California

Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) displays provide an enhanced sense of depth by sending different images to the two eyes. But these displays do not reproduce focus cues (blur and accommodation) correctly. Specifically, the eyes must accommodate to the display s... Read More about Focus-tunable and fixed lenses and stereoscopic 3D displays (Conference Presentation).

Gaze Prediction using Machine Learning for Dynamic Stereo Manipulation in Games (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Koulieris, G., Drettakis, G., Cunningham, D., & Mania, K. (2016, March). Gaze Prediction using Machine Learning for Dynamic Stereo Manipulation in Games. Presented at IEEE VR 2016 IEEE, Greenville, South Carolina, USA

Comfortable, high-quality 3D stereo viewing is becoming a requirement for interactive applications today. Previous research shows that manipulating disparity can alleviate some of the discomfort caused by 3D stereo, but it is best to do this locally,...
