Virtual 3D camera's modeling and roaming control

A monocular virtual camera model was described using the vector description method. Based on this, the parameters of a 3D binocular virtual camera and their constraining relations were determined according to the binocular vision theorem, and then a 3D virtual camera model which contains two monocular virtual cameras was proposed. According to the 3D virtual camera model, a roaming control method for binocular virtual cameras was proposed based on robot kinematics to solve problems of viewing angle limitations and 3D imaging distortion caused by the fact that 3D observation parameters are difficult to change in common virtual reality. The experimental results show that the 3D virtual camera model and the roaming control model can be effectively used to observe virtual reality environments and make the parameters adjusted in real time based upon observation demand, which means that the shift from passive virtual 3D to interactive virtual 3D is of great significance to the improvement of 3D observation in virtual reality.
