The aim of the RESHADE project is to simulate the mutual influence between real and virtual objects in mixed reality applications. Virtual objects in such applications appear disturbingly artificial because rendering completely ignores the real environment. But from the term mixed reality one would expect that virtual and real objects harmoniously blend into one visual perception and cannot be distinguished easily. The ambitious goal of this project was to provide users with a perfect illusion, so that they cannot perceive a difference between virtual and real objects. After more than three years of research the project will finally end with the beginning of February. This talk will give an overview of the challenges faced and the methods developed during this project.
