FlatWorld

FlatWorld is a project at the University of Southern California that mixes reality with an immersive virtual environment. Using rear projection screens and motion tracking, a specially designed room displays computer animation and graphics that change based on the position of the user. With stereoscopic technology, elements can even appear to move into the room. Surround sound, props, wind, and room vibrations add to the experience. The installation was designed to be easily constructed using reasonably low cost materials and equipment for simulations in the educational, military, and entertainment industries.
