Abstract

Immersive displays for virtual reality systems can be roughly classified into spatially immersive displays (similar to CAVE-like dis- plays or large-screen simulators) or head-mounted displays. The former type is usually static in spatial configuration and configured to support a small group of users. The latter supports only a single user. We propose a new class of actuated, reconfigurable display that can support both small groups and individual users: in particular we suggest a robotic display that can change shape. The display can change shape to support different usage conditions, and can also move rapidly to give a larger apparent field of view for an individual user. We explore the potential advantages of a display that can move independently from its user(s), and we present a prototype that demonstrates some of the potential use scenarios.
