Interactive Rendering

This chapter describes the layered format‐agnostic representation in order to create an advanced interactive rendering tool that: (a) allows the scene to be rendered to multiple display systems, from ultra‐high resolution screens to mobile devices; and (b) can be controlled by more natural user interactions such as a gesture recognition system for the pan, zoom, framing and viewpoint selection functionalities available to the viewer. A section describes the challenges of rendering of a format‐agnostic representation. It focuses on the video aspects of the rendering. Another section is devoted to an overview of the techniques and algorithms needed for device‐less gesture recognition. Both sections also include a description of a technological solution. Finally, a user study of the gesture recognition is given.
