Is it real? Capturing and Modifying Reality

With the help of simple 3D-sensors, modern GPUs and tailored algorithms it is nowadays possible to capture 3D-models from real environments in realtime. With such a realtime 3D-model at hand, we can modify what we perceive as reality as a next step. In this talk we present work on capturing static and dynamic 3D scenes, on facial video manipulation and on dynamic projection mapping. The shown work comes from collaborations of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, MPI Informatics, and Stanford University.

Marc Stamminger is a professor for Visual Computing at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. His research covers various areas of Visual Computing, such as rendering, 3D capturing, mixed reality, or medical visualization, with a focus on GPU-based interactive applications. He published a number of papers on these topics. Marc is spokesman of the research training group Heterogeneous Image Systems with 25 PhD students.
