The haunted book

Camille Scherrer, Julien Pilet, Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit

Abstract: This paper describes an artwork that relies on recent computer vision and augmented reality techniques to animate the illustrations of a poetry book. Because we donpsilat need markers, we can achieve seamless integration of real and virtual elements to create the desired atmosphere. The visualization is done on a computer screen to avoid cumbersome head-mounted displays. The camera is hidden into a desk lamp for easing even more the spectator immersion.
