摘要:
A desktop-based stereoscopic projection display system affording high-resolution stereoscopic and peripheral viewing of three-dimensional color imagery over a field of view of at least 180.degree.. The projection volume required by each image projector of the display system is disposed substantially within the overall display volume of the display system, while maximizing the viewing volume within which the viewer is free to move during interactive stereoscopic viewing sessions. The display system utilizes high-resolution image projectors, keystoning correcting optics and projection-beam folding mirrors which are compactly mounted immediately above the upper volume-boundary surface of the overall display volume of the system, in order to permit the use of three-dimensional display structures having footprints and display volumes that are supportable upon desktops and in other viewing environments characterized by spatial restrictions.

Observer tracking is provided in an autostereoscopic 3D display, for instance of the type including an LCD panel 2 behind a parallax barrier. An infrared sensor such as a position sensitive detector is provided on the LCD panel. The parallax barrier extends over the detector so as to form an image of the observer or of a reflective target worn by the observer on the detector. The parallax barrier is moved so as to keep the image at a constant position on the detector. The viewing zone thus track the observer.

The invention relates to a stereoscopic recording and display system, preferably having an autostereoscopic display system, wherein the position of the observer (especially the distance of the observer from the display system) is determined with a head tracking system and the convergence angle between the two cameras of the recording system is changed in dependence upon the distance of the observer from the display system in such a manner that, for an approach of the observer toward the system, the optical axes of both cameras are greatly convergent and, for a distancing of the observer from the display, the optical axes of both cameras are only slightly convergent. Simultaneously, the cameras are always focussed onto the intercept point of the optical axes of both cameras. By changing the convergence angle in dependence upon the distance of the observer from the display screen, either close image contents or distant image contents of the recorded scene are displayed stereoscopically depending upon the particular distance of the observer.

A spatial light modulator has a modulating region which is capable of operating in two modes in the first clear mode, the region is continuously and substantially uniformly transmissive. In a second or barrier mode, the region can be switched to form parallax barrier comprising slits which are separated by continuous opaque regions. Such A modulator may be used in association with an image liquid crystal display to provide an autostereoscopic 3D display having a 3D mode which may track movement of an observer and a 2D mode in which full resolution of the LCD is used.

A display apparatus has a display for displaying images for the right and left eyes, a lenticular lens arranged on the front surface of the display, and a detector for detecting the position of the head portion of an observer. A controller controls the images for the right and left eyes, so that the images are equally incident on the two eyes of the observer at the position detected by the position detector.

An autostereoscopic display of the invention includes: an illumination source for producing light of a first polarization and light of a second polarization different from the first polarization; a spatial light modulator for modulating the light of the first polarization and the light of the second polarization from the illumination source; and an optical system for directing the light of the first polarization to a first viewing region and the light of the second polarization to a second viewing region, wherein the spatial light modulator includes: a first polarization adjusting member for transmitting the light of the first polarization and substantially preventing transmission of the light of the second polarization; a second polarization adjusting member for transmitting the light of the second polarization and substantially preventing transmission of the light of the first polarization; and first and second groups of picture elements optically aligned with the first and second polarization adjusting member, respectively.

An image display system for providing images such that a right eye and a left eye of an observer see different images, respectively. The image display system includes: a camera for taking a picture of said observer and then outputting an image of the observer; a pair of liquid crystal display devices transparent to light; an image generation device for generating a back-light image based on an image output signal provided by the camera; a pair of CRT devices for displaying a back-light image generated by the image generation device to illuminate the pair of liquid crystal display devices from their back sides; a mirror for combining images present on the pair of liquid crystal display devices into one image; and optical elements for giving directivity to back-light emitted by the pair of back-lighting devices so that one of the pair of CRT devices provides back-light illumination for the right eye and the other one of the pair of CRT devices provides back-light illumination for the left eye.
摘要:
An improved three dimensional display device, for a single viewer. To the apparatus of U.S. Pat. No. 5,132,839 is added a mechanism for tracking the eye motion of the viewer. Because the control system "knows" the angles at which the device must project the frame images, only two (stereoscopic) frame images need to be projected in each frame, and a more complete illusion of three dimensionality, with respect to both lateral and vertical movement of the viewer, is provided.

An image display apparatus of head mounted type includes first and second liquid crystal display panels for displaying first and second images to be observed by right and left eyes, respectively of a user wearing the image display apparatus, an optical system for forming virtual images of the displayed first and second images such that the virtual images can be seen by the user, a controller for controlling electronically at least one of position, posture, size and shape of the first and second displayed images. The first and second images are smaller than display areas of the first and second liquid crystal display panels. In one embodiment, the controller includes a button for moving horizontally and vertically the displayed images on the display panels and a button for rotating the displayed images. In another embodiment, the controller includes a detector for detecting rotation and/or position of the apparatus and the displayed images are shifted and rotated and size or shape of the displayed images is changed such that the virtual images are seen to be stationary in a virtual image plane.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus capable of displaying an object on right and left screens so that the object an be visually examined as usually seen by the naked eye. When visual examination positions of right and left displays (1, 2) are detected by eye cameras (3, 4), the visually examined object (WK) on the screens (1, 2) is specified on the basis of the detected visual examination positions. A position of the object (WK) on one screen (1a) is fixed and an entire image including the object (WK) is shifted on the other screen (2a) so that a position of the object (WK) on the other screen (2a) becomes the same to the fixed position on the one screen (1a). A processing is performed to darken a portion of the screen (2a) which is not displayed on the screen (2a) before the image shifting and is displayed on the screen (2a) as a result of the image shifting, and also to darken a portion of the screen (1a) corresponding to the darkened part of the screen (2a) so that the corresponding part is also darkened. The display units (1, 2) are attached to a head of a visually examining operator with use of a predetermined supporting member in such a manner that distances between the screens (1a, 2a) and the operator's left and right eyes are kept constant.
