  The 360 dataset provides 360° color images of indoor scenes along with their corresponding ground truth depth annotations. This dataset is composed from renders of other publicly available textured 3D datasets of indoor scenes. Specifically, it contains renders from two Computer Generated (CG) datasets, SunCG, SceneNet, and two realistic ones, acquired by scanning indoor building, Stanford2D3D, and Matterport3D. The 360° renders are produced by utilizing a path-tracing renderer and placing a spherical camera and a uniform light source at…

We demonstrate our technology via a prototype two player game that can support spectating in various devices like head mounted displays (VR) or tablet laptops (AR). Our system is easy to setup, requiring minimal non-technical human intervention, and relatively low cost taking one step ahead in making this technology available to the consumer public. A.
