Abstract

In our research, we aim to construct the Digital Display Case system, which enables a museum exhibition using virtual exhibits using computer graphics technology, to convey background information about exhibits effectively. In this paper, we consider more practical use in museum, and constructed the system using head tracking, which doesn't need to load any special devices on users. We use camera and range camera to detect and track user's face, and calculate images on displays to enable users to appreciate virtual exhibits as if they were really in the virtual case.
