US 11,691,066 B2 · Light field display system for sporting events

Abstract

A light field (LF) display system for displaying holographic content (e.g., a holographic sporting event or holographic content to augment a holographic sporting event) to viewers in an arena. The LF display system in the arena includes LF display modules tiled together to form an array of LF modules. The array of LF modules create a holographic object volume for displaying the holographic content in the arena. The array of LF modules displays the holographic content to viewers in the viewing volumes. The LF display system can be included in a LF sporting event network. The LF sporting event network allows holographic content to be created at one location and presented at another location. The LF sporting event network includes a network system to manage the digital rights of the holographic sporting event content.

Dependent claims

A light field (LF) sports content network system comprising:

a light field recording assembly configured to record one or more types of energy representing a sporting event at a sporting arena;
a processing engine configured to convert the recorded energy into a holographic content livestream representing the sporting event;
and
a network interface configured to transmit the holographic content livestream to one or more LF display systems via a network
wherein the processing engine is configured to determine a configuration of the sporting arena and to transmit the holographic content livestream to the LF display system via the network such that the holographic content livestream is presentable by the LF display system, wherein the holographic content livestream includes holographic content based on the configuration of the sporting arena.
