專案為遠雄企業集團之建築文化館設計影像合成互動裝置．

This project is to design an interactive photography installation for Architecture and Cuture Pavilion of Far Glory Group.

 

透過60吋觸控螢幕以及即時去背合成技術，使用者可選擇想遊覽的世界知名建築景點，即時看見自己的影像合成於景點的動態影片上，仿佛置身於當地，拍照並寄送到使用者信箱．

 

With touch screen and real-time image synthesis technique using virtual studio users can see their own image synthesized to different scenery locations aound the world in real-time .

靈感：裂屏式對焦相機

Inspired by Split Focus Camera

 

身為機械相機的愛好者，介面設計以經典的裂屏式相機對焦系統為靈感，將畫面分割為左右兩塊，不斷上下抽換不同景點照片，營造“該去哪裡好呢？倫敦好呢？還是吳哥窟好呢？”此種二選一的情境．

 

Being a fan of machanical cameras the user interface was inspired by classical photgraphy focus technique "split-screen". By spliting the interface into to two parts left and right I tried to create an atmosphere for user to feel the dilemma of choices "where to go?".

選擇好景點後，螢幕上會看到使用者自己透過現場設置的攝影棚即時去背合成於景點影片的影像．一般去背合成多將靜態照片作為合成素材，無法讓使用者感覺置身當地．因此專案特別開發及時去背技術，以及景點動態影像作為合成素材，將普遍去背合成裝置往上提升一個層次．

 

After a destination is decided users will see their own image composited with the video background using virtual studio. Normally this type of installations offer only still background image so users can't feel like they are rally there.That's why we choose video instead of still image to create an atmosphere.

不可避免的，去背合成技術上的限制，在色相與邊緣像素不完美的狀況．因此加入濾鏡系統，除了更豐富互動內容，同時也讓消弭技術限制造成的瑕疵．

In order to avoid technical flaws for example hue differences and unclean pixels at the edge to be seen we let users to choose photgraphy filters they like.
