Vidente City Visualization

Subsurface Features Visualization on Handhelds (2006)

For the ISMAR 2006 demo session we created a Windows CE version of the Vidente City Visualization application - a project run by Erick Mendez and Gerhard Schall.

As always, all processing is done natively on the device itself.

Vidente runs on any Windows CE device. At ISMAR 2006 we demonstrated Vidente on the following devices:

Processor: 200MHz ARM

3D: Software OpenGL ES

Screen: 240x320

Camera: 320x240

OS: Windows Mobile 2005

Weight: 106g

Framerate: 5-13 fps

With its slow 200MHz processor, the SP5's framerate is highly dependend on the number of markers visible in the camera image.

Processor: 520MHz ARM

3D: Software OpenGL ES

Screen: 640x480

Camera: 320x240

OS: Windows Mobile 2005

Weight: 285g

Framerate: 12-20 fps

With its fast 520MHz processor, the MDA Pro has enough pro-cessing power for fast multi-marker tracking and software rendering.

Processor: 400MHz ARM

3D: Hardware OpenGL ES

Screen: 320x240

Camera: 320x240

OS: Windows CE 4.21

Weight: 181g

Framerate: 13-25 fps

With its Goforce 4500 GPU, the Gizmondo can use all its CPU power for tracking and therefore achieves high and stable frame rates.

The following pictures were taken during ISMAR 2006 by Daniel Pustka from TU Munich.
