Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The authors have been developing an interactive display system "i-ball 2". i-ball 2 employs a special imaging systems and its image focus location is in the transparent ball of the system. Thus, images are seen as if they were floating in the ball. i-ball 2 has two displaying systems and each viewer can see different images. A remarkable characteristic of i-ball 2 is that one of input interfaces is the ball (in which images are seen) that rotates like a track ball. In addition, i-ball 2 has other input interfaces and potential for various interactive experiences. In this paper, we report i-ball 2 in detail and its implemented applications (e.g. 3-D CG object viewer).
