Tran porter3D U er Guide

Introduction

The Tran porter3D i a device which upport Fir t Per on View (FPV) with the Oculu Rift, Sony HMZ and

Zei Cinemizer head mounted di play by converting remotely tran mitted video into a virtual reality

experience called "telepre ence".

The Tran porter3D Indiegogo Edition i the crowd ourced de ign ba ed on input from the campaign

backer . We wanted each of the campaign backer to have the chance to experience the inde cribable

feeling of immer ive FPV. By backing the project you have exclu ive acce to the Tran porter3D

technology; you are getting in at the ground level.

Backer will alway be original backer and will be recognized for exclu ive offer a they are developed.

Throughout thi U er Guide, the term “Tran porter3D” refer pecifically to the Tran porter3D Indiegogo

Edition.

Tran porter3D U er Guide

Original Project Goals

From the tart, our objective wa to create an Oculu Rift interface de igned for tandard FPV/telepre ence

equipment. The hardware olution had to meet the e four key goal :

•No perceptible latency: FPV u er want the ame lag free experience they’ve come to expect

from their analog y tem ;

•Video formatting: To adapt to the Rift, the video need to be completely adju table. U er need

to be able to adju t the video creen ize and po ition to exactly where they want, adju ting for

comfort and interpupillary di tance (IPD). Zooming and alignment mode are critical to u ing the

Tran porter3D. The Tran porter3D al o need to proce the video without violating the latency

rule;

•Video tability: The hardware need to cope with noi y video. Analog FPV video i noi y at time .

The hardware need to pa video regardle of how noi y it i and handle it gracefully (i.e. no

blue creen ); and

•Stereo copic Video: The Tran porter3D need to upport tereo copic 3D video to

accommodate the capabilitie of the Rift.

Once we met the e goal we a ked our backer what el e they wanted to ee in the final product. The

feedback included:

•Support for different video mode : 2D mode for a ingle camera, uper wide field-of-view

experience and 3D mode with eparate camera input ;

•Battery powered: Support for a wide range of DC input voltage with a connector that’ ideal for

batterie ;

•Power the Rift: The Tran porter3D hould be capable of powering the Rift;

•Support for the Sony HMZ wearable di play;

•Support for the Zei Cinemizer 3D gla e ; and

•Head Tracking: The Tran porter3D hould upport the u e of the Rift’ head tracker to output

head-tracking ignal for controlling the camera pan, tilt and roll function via remote control

tran mitter.

Tran porter3D U er Guide

Overview

The Tran porter3D i a ingle board purpo e built proce ing engine leveraging an Altera Cyclone III FPGA

(EP3C80F484C7N) for video proce ing. The FPGA i programmable like a microproce or, except it i

actually the internal hardware that i being programmed, rather than oftware that run on the hardware.

Thi give incredible peed, flexibility and power to achieve the Tran porter3D goal .

Transporter3D

The ide effect of thi de ign i that, unlike maller microproce or y tem you may be familiar with, the

Tran porter3D cannot be upgraded u ing ju t a imple USB cable. The equipment required to program

FPGA i complex and expen ive, o we have de igned the Tran porter3D o that it internal hardware can

be completely reconfigured imply by plugging in an identity module.

Identity Module provide the Tran porter3D with a way of upgrading the FPGA configuration to allow u er

to change the device functionality to uit their intended application (for example, when the con umer

ver ion of the Oculu Rift i relea ed, campaign backer will be provided with an identity module to upport

the con umer ver ion of the Rift).

The Tran porter3D can run on voltage from 6-15V DC and total power con umption including the Rift i

6W. For in tance, with a 12V upply the Tran porter3D draw 0.5A. U ing a tandard 3 cell, 2200mAh LiPo

battery, the Tran porter3D and Rift combo will la t 4 hour .

Tran porter3D U er Guide

The Tran porter3D upport 2D video, ingle channel encoded 3D video and dual channel 3D video for the

ultimate re olution 3D experience. To leverage the 3D capabilitie we rede igned the 3D-Cam

(Tran porter3D Edition) with higher performance en or and Tran porter3D upport for both ingle

channel 3D and dual channel 3D video. Thi give camera package backer the ability to ee 3D with their

tandard FPV y tem and provide the option to experiment with the ultimate dual channel 3D experience.

NOTE: The 3D-Cam Tran porter3D Edition will be available in Q2, 2014.

3D-Cam Transporter3D Edition

Becau e the Tran porter3D i upplied a a bare circuit board containing fairly en itive electronic

component , we de igned the Tran porter3D to fit into a cu tom machined ca e called the Tran porter3D

‘Shuttle Craft’. The ca e i turdy protection for your Tran porter3D in the field.

Tran porter3D U er Guide

Getting Started

The following ection de cribe how to get tarted u ing the Tran porter3D.

Un-Boxing

Warning: electrostatic-sensitive device!

The Tran porter3D i a tandalone circuit board and, like mo t electronic , i an electro tatic- en itive

device (ESD). We hip the Tran porter3D in anti- tatic packaging to protect it during tran it; however, care

hould be taken when removing the Tran porter3D from the packaging.

Here are ome tip for handling ESD :

•Leave tatic en itive device in their packaging until they are required for u e;

•When moving a tatic en itive device from one place to another, en ure that both location are

at the ame tatic potential – e.g.: when handing the Tran porter3D board to omeone el e,

make body contact before handing over the device to en ure the tatic charge between you

become equal;

•When working on board containing tatic- en itive component , u e an anti- tatic wri t- trap,

or bracelet;

•U e an anti- tatic mat (a rubber mat upon which you place your project).
