An attitude tracking system for teleimmersion applications

The present work copes with the development of one of the modules that compose a system for tele-immersion applications responsible for providing the user with stereoscopic visual information from a remote environment acquired with a controlled video camera pair in fronto-parallel disposition. The user's head orientation is obtained from an Inertial Measurement Unit -- IMU, whose orientation is sent and matched by the remote camera pair. The user visualizes the remote environment via a tridimensional visual interface that exhibits the scene captured by the remote camera pair. The system was developed and implemented with lowcost cameras and servos, presenting a performance compaptible with current tele-immersion applications.

@s25verma I think it could be built with an iphone, but you'd have to use the magnetometers as well to capture movements along the vertical axis. As for the details on how the whole system works, there's a published paper on this subject, altough I'm afraid it is written in portuguese :(

this is really cool! how'd you build it? could you replace the IMU with the accelerator function from a phone?
