Perceived image depth for autostereoscopic displays

A method for designing a stereoscopic display, comprising:

• selecting a depth of a projection area, wherein the projection area is generated by a lenticular array, comprising at least two lenticles, operatively coupled to a display;
• identifying a number of views comprised within the display, wherein a view comprises a subset of an image;
• and
• identifying a distance from a portion of the display to at least one of the lenticles, wherein the at least one of the lenticles is a lenticle that the portion of the display is shown through;
• identifying a width of at least one of lenticles;
• and
• identifying a distance from the lenticular array to a user;
• wherein at least one of:
• the identifying a number of views, identifying a distance from a portion of the display, identifying a width, and identifying a distance from the lenticular array, is computed via the calculation:
• 2
• 
• 
• n
• v
• 
• f

• S
• 2
• D

• wherein d is the depth of a projection area, wherein nv is the number of views, wherein f is the distance from a portion of the display, wherein S is the width, and wherein D is the distance from the lenticular array.
