Holographic reality system, multiview display, and method
A holographic reality system and multiview display monitor a user position and provide virtual haptic feedback to the user. The holographic reality system includes a multiview display configured to display a multiview image, a position sensor configured to monitor the user position, and a virtual haptic feedback unit configured to provide the virtual haptic feedback. An extent of the virtual haptic feedback corresponds to an extent of a virtual control within the multiview image. The holographic reality multiview display includes an array of multiview pixels configured to provide different views of the multiview image by modulating directional light beams having directions corresponding to the different views and an array of multibeam elements configured to provide the directional light beams to corresponding multiview pixels.
Light field display system for sporting events
A light field (LF) display system for displaying holographic content (e.g., a holographic sporting event or holographic content to augment a holographic sporting event) to viewers in an arena. The LF display system in the arena includes LF display modules tiled together to form an array of LF modules. The array of LF modules create a holographic object volume for displaying the holographic content in the arena.

The LF sporting event network allows holographic content to be created at one location and presented at another location. The LF sporting event network includes a network system to manage the digital rights of the holographic sporting event content.
LIGHT FIELD DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR VIDEO GAMES AND ELECTRONIC SPORTS
A light field (LF) display system implements a holographic video game. The LF display system includes an LF display assembly that displays holographic game content. The LF display system can also include a sensory feedback assembly that provides tactile feedback to users by projecting an ultrasonic wave, a tracking system that can track one or more body parts of a user, and a controller that executes a game application and generates display instructions for the LF display assembly. The LF display system can implement an interactive video game that tracks a body part of a player and provides both visual and haptic feedback to the player to depict an in-game interaction, such as an explosion or impact. The video game may be implemented as part of an LF gaming network.
REAL-TIME ADAPTATION OF HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGING BASED ON A PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT USING A REASONING ENGINE
In one embodiment, a device transmits data characterizing a holographic image to a physical environment. A visible rendering of the holographic image is created in the physical environment. The device uses a reasoning engine to make an inference regarding a state of the physical environment based on sensor data captured in the physical environment indicative of one or more real-time characteristics of the physical environment. In response to the inference, the device adjusts the holographic image. Then, the device transmits data characterizing the adjusted holographic image to the physical environment, and a visible rendering of the adjusted holographic image is created in the physical environment.

METHOD FOR DETECTING MICROSTRUCTURE OF FUNCTIONALLY GRADED MATERIAL BASED ON DIGITAL ACOUSTO-OPTIC HOLOGRAPHY
The present invention discloses a method for detecting a microstructure of a functionally graded material based on digital acousto-optic holography, including the following steps: excite a sample with an ultrasonic wave; record a light wave; form a single tomographic acousto-optic hologram; perform numerical reconstruction of phase information, and perform global detection. The present invention uses an acoustic-optic modulation device to modulate a laser light source of a laser of a laser device to form two light waves of different frequencies. The two light waves each constitute a Mach-Zehnder interference system to record reflection wave information and transmission wave information of an ultrasound, and are finally combined and recorded in the same hologram to form the single tomographic acousto-optic hologram. A reflection-transmission dual-mode interference optical path is beneficial to avoiding the mutual interference of the reflection wave information and the transmission wave information, and being able to improve the integrity of information record and information redundancy by using time delay integration with point sensing and surface output to scan CCD through an image collector and cooperate with a synchronous control system to perform surface scanning and record for information of an ultrasound carrier.
