Abstract :
Traditional 2D video sequences have been characterized as a static and rigid set of scenes. This mature technology faces two major drawbacks: 2D video scenes as a set of standstill and inflexible sequences, and the limited data available to the viewer, that is, no free selection of viewpoint. A novel image media channel has been proposed to record dynamic visual scenario in the real world defined as 3D video. Creativity and imagination has made possible a closer interaction between humans and computers. This interaction depends on haptics, that is, the sense of touch given by computer technology. Virtual reality environment is evolving towards more realistic graphical representations. In this paper we will present a novel approach to integrating free viewpoint 3D video with haptic devices in an environment suitable for training.
