ATTEST
The
ATTEST: Multimodal Analysis/Synthesis System for Human Interaction
to Virtual and Augmented Environments
(IST ATTEST) project will design an
open, flexible and modular 3D-TV system, which can be used in a broadcast
environment. It will be based on the concept of 2D video and synchronized depth
information, assuring full compatibility with digital 2D-TV available today. As
early as 1920, TV pioneers dreamed of developing high-definition 3D color TV,
as only such would provide the most natural viewing experience. Today, the
hurdle of 3D-TV still remains to be taken.
Essential requirements are the backwards compatibility with existing 2D broad-
cast and flexibility to support a wide range of different 2D and 3D displays. This
can be achieved by providing depth as an enhancement layer on top of a regular
2D transmission. ATTEST will address the complete 3D-TV broadcast chain:
3D content generation (novel 3D camera and 2D-to-3D conversion of existing
content), 3D video coding (complying with 2D digital broadcast and streaming
internet standards), and visualization on novel single and multi-user 3D displays.
The concept to provide 3D as synchronized 2D and depth information finally
provides the flexibility to allow local customization of the depth experience.
