Abstract

The paper focuses on an adaptation of a virtual camera to a horizontal stereoscopic projection (Virtual Table). To get the correct view to stereoscopic projections it is necessary to detect the users position while walking around the table. One disadvantage of solutions based on magnetic trackers is their sensibility to distortions caused by external magnetic fields. Another unacceptable point is the obstructive cable connection of the user.
