| description | Virtual reality has reached a great maturity in recent years. However, the quality of its visual appearance still leaves room for improvement. One of the most difficult features to represent in real-time 3D rendered virtual scenes is color fidelity, since there are many factors influencing the faithful reproduction of color. In this paper we introduce a method for improving color fidelity in virtual reality systems based in real-time 3D rendering systems. We developed a color management system for 3D rendered scenes divided into two levels. At the first level, color management is applied only to light sources defined inside the virtual scene. At the second level, we applied spectral techniques over the hyperspectral textures of 3D objects to obtain a higher degree of color fidelity. To illustrate the application of this color management method, we simulated a virtual version of the Ishihara test for color blindness deficiency detection. |
