Painting Based Enterable Tunnel-Like VR Space

Traditional paintings could bring unique aesthetic feelings to people which could not be easily rendered in CG environment, especially for certain style of paintings. This paper developed a kind of enterable tunnel-like VR space constructed by using elements extracted from paintings which could allow users to go into it and walk through to explore a virtual world of traditional painting style. Users could see seamless and infinity painting images in certain style everywhere while entering this world, and in any position of this VR space it just look like a painting works. Math method of exponential transformation is applied to build this VR space.
