Abstract
Systems and methods are described for displaying on a viewing surface of a multi-view display targeted instructional content to a first viewer in a viewing space such that other viewers in other locations of the viewing space are unable to observe the instructional content. The multi-view display is configured to provide differentiated content to viewers located in different positions around the display. In some embodiments, the viewing surface is located in a venue such as a theater, the first viewer is a speaker located on a stage in the venue, and the instructional content is text from a speech or performance to be presented by the speaker.
Claims27
A method of displaying targeted instructions, the method comprising:
- operating an electronic multi-view display having a viewing surface configured to simultaneously display different content based on a viewer's position relative to the viewing surface, wherein the viewing surface is visible to viewers positioned in a viewing space and comprises a plurality of projection elements, the operating comprising:
- simultaneously projecting from each projection element a plurality of different color or intensity light, each different color or intensity light being projected in a respective one of a plurality of different directions such that at a given instant, a first projection element of the plurality of projection elements simultaneously projects a first color or intensity light in a first direction and a second color or intensity light in a second direction, wherein the first color or intensity light is different than the second color or intensity light and the first direction is different than the second direction;
- and
- displaying on the viewing surface first instructional content selectively targeted and visible to a first viewer positioned in a first viewing zone of the viewing space;
- wherein the first instructional content visible to the first viewer is displayed such that the first instructional content visible to the first viewer is not visible to a second viewer observing the viewing surface from a second viewing zone of the viewing space.
A computing system for displaying targeted instructions, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable memory storing computer-executable instructions which when executed cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- operating an electronic multi-view display having a viewing surface configured to simultaneously display different content based on a viewer's position relative to the viewing surface, wherein the viewing surface is visible to viewers positioned in a viewing space and comprises a plurality of projection elements, the operating comprising:
- simultaneously projecting from each projection element a plurality of different color or intensity light, each different color or intensity light being projected in a respective one of a plurality of different directions such that at a given instant, a first projection element of the plurality of projection elements simultaneously projects a first color or intensity light in a first direction and a second color or intensity light in a second direction, wherein the first color or intensity light is different than the second color or intensity light and the first direction is different than the second direction;
- and
- displaying on the viewing surface first instructional content visible to a first viewer positioned in a first viewing zone of the viewing space, the first instructional content comprising one or more of:
- text to be spoken by the first viewer, instructions for action by the first viewer, or an image to be viewed by the first viewer;
- wherein the first instructional content is displayed such that the first instructional content is not visible to viewers observing the viewing surface from a second viewing zone of the viewing space.
