Sorcerer's Apprentics: Head-Mounted Display and Wand.
Abstract
Sorcerer's Apprentice is an interactive computer graphics system using a head-mounted display and a three-dimensional wand. The system allows three-dimensional interaction with line drawings which are displayed in real time, that is about 20 frames per second. The display, worn like a pair of eyeglasses, gives an illusion to the observer that he is surrounded by three-dimensional, computer-generated objects. The observer's view is continuously modified to compensate for his motion, allowing the objects to appear stationary as he walks among them. A hand-held wand lets the observer interact with the objects by 'touching' them, moving them, changing their shapes, or joining them together. With the wand the observer can also create new objects and add to existing ones. The major activity described here dealt with communication from the observer to the computer.
