“…XR technologies are quickly establishing themselves as commonplace platforms for presenting objects of historical, scientific, artistic, and cultural interest to the public. The Jonathan Swift project exemplars the creative potential of VV used in the museological context of cultural heritage (CH) [16]. In this applied use-case scenario, we present a VV actor as an AR character that attempts to break the mold by employing a humorous and playful mode of communication [17].…”

Volumetric video (VV) is an emergent digital media that enables novel forms of interaction and immersion within eXtended Reality (XR) applications. VV supports 3D representation of real-world scenes and objects to be visualized from any viewpoint or viewing direction; an interaction paradigm that is commonly seen in computer games. This allows for instance to bring real people into XR. Based on this innovative media format, it is possible to design new forms of immersive and interactive experiences that can be visualized via head-mounted displays (HMDs) in virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR). This paper highlights technology for VV content creation developed by the V-SENSE lab and the startup company Volograms. It further showcases a variety of creative experiments applying VV for immersive storytelling in XR.

“…Another project that preserves cultural heritage is Samuel Beckett in VR [6], where a team of interdisciplinary professionals, made an interactive VR narrative of Samuel Beckett's theatrical text Play. They filmed the actors in front of a green screen using free-viewpoint video (FVV) and then added the VE as a background.…”

Virtual Reality (VR) storytelling enhances the immersion of users into virtual environments (VE). Its use in virtual cultural heritage presentations helps the revival of the genius loci (the spirit of the place) of cultural monuments. This paper aims to show that the use of actors in VR storytelling adds to the quality of user experience and improves the edutainment value of virtual cultural heritage applications. We will describe the Baiae dry visit application which takes us to a time travel in the city considered by the Roman elite as "Little Rome (Pusilla Roma)" and presently is only partially preserved under the sea.

This research proposes a method that generates viewpoint smooth switching by reducing the flickering artefacts that are observed at bullet-times generated from asynchronous multi-view videos using frame interpolation processing. When we asynchronously capture multi-view videos of an object moving at a high velocity, deviations occur in the observed position at the bullet-times. We apply a frame interpolation technique to smooth this problem. By selecting suitable interpolated images that produce the smallest movement of the subject's observed position, we smoothly generate a viewpoint-switched bullet-time video. In this paper, we examine the subjective evaluation of the video generated by the proposed method. And we also examine objective evaluation. Therefore, the effectiveness of the proposed method is shown. Furthermore, reproducibility was improved by considering the application conditions of the proposed method.
