Pseudo Holographic Game Service on IPTV using Head Tracking
Followed by the popularization of 3D TV, technical efforts to develop hologram TVs, known as real 3D displays, are being continuously made. However, the commercialization of hologram TV is taking a very long time due to the enormous difficulties in its appropriate technical realization. Nevertheless, several new services deploying the technology to produce hologram-like effect, instead of real hologram, have emerged. In this paper, as one such service, a game service with realistic holographic-like effect is proposed. This service utilizes head-tracked autostereoscopic technology with 360 degree panoramic video and can be delivered on IPTV. It will provide the possibility of employing the pseudo holographic technology as an immersive realistic game service in living room TV environments.
