Method for mirroring 3D objects to light field displays

A 3D display system including a 3D display device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• receive, from a 2D display device, information identifying a virtual 3D object and a first scale information indicating a display size of the 2D display device and a size of a 2D representation of the virtual 3D object as is displayed on the 2D display device to a user,
• determine a second scale based on the first scale information, the second scale indicating a size of a 3D representation of the virtual 3D object, and
• display the 3D representation of the virtual 3D object on the 3D display device using the second scale.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to perform a method performed by a 3D display system including a 3D display device, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a 2D display device, information identifying a virtual 3D object and a first scale information indicating a display size of the 2D display device and a size of a 2D representation of the virtual 3D object as is displayed on the 2D display device to a user;
• determining a second scale based on the first scale information, the second scale indicating a size of a 3D representation of the virtual 3D object;
• and
• displaying the 3D representation of the virtual 3D object on the 3D display device using the second scale.

A method, performed by a 3D display system including a 3D display device, comprising:

• receiving, from a 2D display device, information identifying a virtual 3D object and a first scale information indicating a size of a 2D representation of the virtual 3D object as is displayed on the 2D display device to a user;
• receiving information identifying a location of the user relative to the 3D display device;
• determining a second scale based on the first scale information and based on the location of the user relative to the 3D display device, the second scale indicating a size of a 3D representation of the virtual 3D object;
• and
• displaying the 3D representation of the virtual 3D object on the 3D display device using the second scale.
