Abstract
A holographic display and method for operating the holographic display can include: a holographic display operable in a plurality of modes, a computing system, and a sensor. The holographic display can option include a user interface device. Views displayed by the display can optionally be processed or modified based on a viewer pose relative to the display.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- an autostereoscopic display configured to project each of a plurality of views to a different spatial direction, wherein the plurality of views comprises at least four distinct views;
- a tracking sensor proximal the autostereoscopic display configured to determine a pose of one or more viewers;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- generate the plurality of views from a three-dimensional subject;
- based on the pose of the one or more viewers modify a subset of the plurality of views projected into a spatial direction coincident with the pose of the one or more viewers, wherein the processor is configured to modify the subset of the plurality of views by:
- modifying a perspective of the subset of the plurality of views;
- modifying the subset of the plurality of views to improve a resolution of the three-dimensional image;
- modifying the subset of the plurality of views such that the three-dimensional subject appears to interact with the one or more viewers;
- modifying the subset of the plurality of views to account for motion of the one or more viewers;
- or
- modifying an aspect ratio of the subset of the plurality of views;
- and
- when a first viewer and a second viewer are in positions corresponding to a first view, shift a view alignment such that the position of the second viewer no longer corresponds to the first view;
- wherein when the first viewer and a second viewer are in positions corresponding to the first view, the first view is projected in a first direction corresponding to the position of the first viewer and is projected in a second direction corresponding to the position of the second viewer, wherein shifting the view alignment such that the position of the second viewer no longer corresponds to the first view comprises adjusting a calibration of the autostereoscopic display such that the first view is no longer projected in the second direction.
