Autostereoscopic display system comprising a plurality of autostereoscopic display devices

An autostereoscopic display system configured to display a single virtual 3D-environment on a plurality of autostereoscopic display devices to one or more viewers, the autostereoscopic display system comprising:

• a plurality of autostereoscopic display devices, each autostereoscopic display device comprising a display element for displaying a stereoscopic image to a viewer of the autostereoscopic display device by directing a left eye image and a right eye image to respective eyes of the viewer, each autostereoscopic display device comprising an eye tracker for obtaining a position of the eyes of the viewer relative to the autostereoscopic display device;
• a first means for providing a virtual 3D-environment, the virtual 3D-environment comprising at least two virtual windows, each virtual window being defined by a corresponding autostereoscopic display device of the plurality of autostereoscopic display devices, each virtual window allowing a viewer to experience a part of the virtual 3D-environment as displayed on the corresponding autostereoscopic display device, at least one virtual window being a movable virtual window that is movable within the virtual 3D-environment by moving, in the real world, the autostereoscopic display device that defines the movable virtual window;
• a second means for obtaining positions of the at least two virtual windows in the virtual 3D-environment;
• a third means for determining positions of the eyes of each of the one or more viewers relative to the virtual 3D-environment;
• and
• a fourth means for generating a stereoscopic image of the virtual 3D-environment for display on each autostereoscopic display device that is viewed by a particular viewer, the stereoscopic image for each autostereoscopic display device being recorded by a virtual stereo camera that is positioned proximate the determined position of the eyes of the particular viewer of the autostereoscopic display device relative to the virtual 3D-environment, the stereoscopic image for each autostereoscopic display device being capable of being displayed by the display element of the autostereoscopic display device, wherein
• each of the autostereoscopic display devices defines a virtual window allowing a viewer to experience a part of the virtual 3D environment as displayed on the autostereoscopic display device;
• at least one virtual window is a movable virtual window that is movable within the virtual 3D environment by moving, in the real world, the autostereoscopic display device that defines the movable virtual window;
• at least one of the viewers experiences the part of the virtual 3D environment through a movable virtual window from a perspective that corresponds to a position of eyes of the at least one of the viewers relative to the virtual 3D environment.
