US 2025/0063153 A1 · AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY DEVICE PRESENTING 3D-VIEW AND 3D-SOUND

Abstract

The invention relates to method for simultaneously presenting to a viewer of an autostereoscopic display device a three-dimensional image and three-dimensional sound, wherein the method comprises adapting the three-dimensional image as well as the three-dimensional sound to the position of the eyes and the ears of the viewer relative to the autostereoscopic display device. In this way, image and sound of one and the same virtual scene can simultaneously be presented to a viewer as if they were of a real scene; both are experienced three-dimensionally and in accordance with movement of the viewer in the scene. Moreover, this is also achieved for interactions of a viewer with the scene, e.g. with virtual objects displayed on the autostereoscopic display device. In this way, the viewer is provided with an increased immersion in the scene, which may find a useful application in e.g. teleconferencing and computer gaming.
