A stereoscopic light recycling device is provided. A beam splitter receives image light and is positioned at an angle to a source of the image light. A phase shifting optic is positioned at an angle non-perpendicular to the image light from the beam splitter. The phase shifting optic and the beam splitter are in optical alignment and the angle of the phase sifting optic is dependent on a surface of the phase shifting optic and a distance between the source of the image light and a screen on which the image light is projected.

A stereoscopic light recycling device is provided. A beam splitter is constructed of substantially orthogonally polarizing material on which divergent image light is received and is positioned at an angle to a source of the divergent image light. A phase shifting optic includes a reflective surface coated by a phase shifting film and is positioned at an angle non-perpendicular to at least a portion of the image light from the beam splitter. The angle of the phase shifting optic is dependent on the angle of the beam splitter.

Optical systems having at least one polarization beam splitter (PBS) are operable to receive randomly-polarized light bundles from a projector lens. The PBS is further operable to direct light bundles having a state of polarization (SOP) along a light path and operable to direct other light bundles having a different SOP along different light paths. The light paths have optical path lengths which may differ. Each light path produces an image having a distortion which may differ from the distortion of an image produced by a different light path. A compensation in a light path is operable to convert a non-compensated distortion of an image into a compensated distortion that more closely matches the distortion of images in other light paths.

A projection system and method therefor comprises a first light source configured to emit a first-eye light, wherein the first-eye light includes a first set of wavelengths; a second light source configured to emit a second-eye light, wherein the second-eye light includes a second set of wavelengths; a first projector including first projection optics configured to receive a first input light; and an optical switch configured to be switched between an a first mode and a second mode, wherein the optical switch is configured to, in the first mode, combine the first-eye light and the second-eye light into a combined light and direct the combined light to the first projection optics as the first input light.

According to one embodiment, an X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray image acquisition unit, a control system and a display processing part. The X-ray image acquisition unit acquires X-ray image data of an object by using at least one imaging system. The control system controls the imaging system to acquire X-ray image data corresponding to different directions by reciprocating the imaging system repeatedly. The display processing part acquires X-ray image data for stereoscopic viewing out of the X-ray image data corresponding to the different directions to generate and display stereoscopically visible image data on a display unit based on the X-ray image data for the stereoscopic viewing. The X-ray image data for the stereoscopic viewing are acquired in a period without a motion or a possibility of the motion in an imaging part of the object.
