Abstract

Projection of three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional surface relies on the computer graphics camera based in design on the camera obscura. Geometrical limitations of this model lead to perspective distortions in wide-angle projections. Including the camera model, our approach is to involve the human perception in order to create a realistic spatial impression by a two-dimensional image. The aim is to provide human-centered interfaces for an efficient and coherent communication of spatial information in virtual worlds to support avatar-mediated interaction with its need for correct depiction of human figures concerning proportion and orientation. To this end, we explain an object-based and introduce a camera-based computer graphics procedure to prevent projective distortions and misalignments.
