Abstract

Image-based rendering technique is a very interesting research area in Virtual Reality. This paper presents a novel approach to create spherical panoramas. With these panoramas, we make use of the idea of hyperlink organizing viewpoints and the virtual objects to construct image-based spherical virtual spaces. In such spaces, users can look in all directions in one viewpoint, wander widely by jumping from one viewpoint to another, and manipulate virtual objects freely.
