Abstract
One embodiment of a display system includes one or more light sources, one or more spatial light modulators, and a plurality of scatterers. One embodiment of a method for displaying content includes computing at least one of a phase or an amplitude modulation associated with two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) content, and causing one or more spatial light modulators to modulate light based on the at least one of a phase or an amplitude modulation to generate modulated light, where the modulated light is scattered by a plurality of scatterers.
Claims20
A display system comprising:
- one or more light sources;
- one or more spatial light modulators that modulate light emitted by the one or more light sources in accordance with at least one of a phase or an amplitude modulation to generate modulated light, wherein the at least one of a phase or an amplitude modulation is computed based on two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) content to be displayed;
- and
- a plurality of scatterers, wherein the one or more spatial light modulators direct the modulated light towards a subset of scatterers included in the plurality of scatterers, and wherein the modulated light is scattered by the subset of scatterers to display the 2D or 3D content.
A computer-implemented method for displaying content, the method comprising:
- computing at least one of a phase or an amplitude modulation based on two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) content to be displayed;
- and
- causing one or more spatial light modulators to modulate light in accordance with the at least one of a phase or an amplitude modulation to generate modulated light that is directed towards a subset of scatterers included in a plurality of scatterers, wherein the modulated light is scattered by the subset of scatterers to display the 2D or 3D content.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform the steps of:
- computing at least one of a phase or an amplitude modulation based on two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) content to be displayed;
- and
- causing one or more spatial light modulators to modulate light in accordance with the at least one of a phase or an amplitude modulation to generate modulated light that is directed towards a subset of scatterers included in a plurality of scatterers, wherein the modulated light is scattered by the subset of scatterers to display the 2D or 3D content.
