Tania Pouli, Patrick Morvan, Sylvain Thiebaud, Anita Orhand, Nicholas Mitchell

Immersive technologies offer new approaches for engaging audiences and providing visual information, whether for entertainment or more practical applications. To ensure that the content maintains the intended appearance across different devices and environments, one of the key challenges is accurate color management. In this paper, we discuss the challenges that have to be overcome to create color-accurate immersive experiences at a cinematic quality level. We propose workflows for efficiently characterizing different virtual and augmented reality devices and review their color reproduction capabilities against current display standards.
