The spring counterbalanced boom suspension system is designed for suspending a viewer for use in a visual virtual environment system. The spring counterbalanced boom suspension has an improved range of motion which allows for fully counterbalanced movement of the viewing device to a vertical positions, and to horizontal positions on either side of the vertical. The viewer is suspended by a counterbalanced boom arm which is in turn supported by a cantilever arm pivotably and rotatably connected to a support structure. A tension spring is connected between the support structure and an attachment point on the cantilever arm by a cable for counterbalancing the weight of the viewing means and the boom arm. The spring tension and preload are adjusted to the geometry and counterbalancing weight of the suspension system, and the cantilever arm is capable of a fully counterbalanced range of motion. A pair of pulleys are preferably mounted to the upper end of the support structure to provide a channel through which the cable passes.
摘要:
A rear projection imaging system with an image warping distortion correction system using a camera and processing unit to generate a warping map that corrects for image distortion. The warping map is generated in an iterative process by displaying a known pattern on a viewing screen and, through the use of a camera, having a microprocessor determine the location and shape of the pattern on the screen. The microprocessor then compares the displayed image to the original reference image, calculates the distortion effects present in the projection optics, and generates a warping map.

An device for receiving streaming audio or other audio sources netcast in analogous fashion to a radio broadcast, said device providing an interface analogous to a radio receiver, eliminating the necessity of an intervening personal computer system.
摘要:
A computer system and computer-implemented method for rendering images in real-time with a three-dimensional appearance. Using a database including at least-one pair of texture maps uses as a stereo pair behind a portal to simulate a scene. An input database can be processed to generate a processed database by performing texture mapping to replace at least one portion of the input data representing a view (or object) by data indicative of a pair of texture maps and an associated polygon or polygons. One of the texture maps represents the view (object) from a left-eye viewpoint; the other represents the view (object) from a right-eye viewpoint. In some embodiments, to generate the texture map pairs, the input database analyzed to produce the images. In other embodiments the images are from photographs or other sources.
