A poster board whose central region is thicker than its peripheral region. The peripheral region having a reflective and refractive surface that provides iridescent color hues within a rainbow spectrum. The reflective and refractive surface may contain a holographic pattern of geometric shapes of different sizes and shapes. The reflective and refractive surface may give rise to spaced apart bands with each of the bands containing the rainbow spectrum of color hues.

Disclosed are methods and systems for displaying images, and for implementing volumetric user interfaces. One exemplary embodiment provides a system comprising: a light source; an image producing unit, which produces an image upon interaction with light approaching the image producing unit from the light source; an eyepiece; and a mirror, directing light from the image to a surface of the eyepiece, wherein the surface has a shape of a solid of revolution formed by revolving a planar curve at least 180 around an axis of revolution.

A dynamic image diffractive device product, including: a transparent substrate; and a hardened resin pattern layer adhered with a surface of the transparent substrate; wherein the hardened resin pattern layer has a plurality of grating pattern regions, so that when the transparent substrate is moved by a driving device to have each pattern region of the plurality of grating pattern regions illuminated in turn by a laser light source, a transmitted light beam from the transparent substrate will present a dynamic image on a surface of an external object.

In some embodiments, holographic presentations despite using holographic displays having limited viewing angles may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a user may be detected via one or more sensors associated with a holographic display system, where the holographic display system being configured with a first viewing angle. Based on the detection of the user, a direction of the user may be determined. The first viewing angle of the holographic display system may also be determined. For example, the holographic display system may determine a current first viewing angle. Based on the direction of the user, the first viewing angle may be adjusted such that the user becomes within the adjusted first viewing angle of the holographic display system.

A light field (LF) display system presents holographic content to one or more viewers in a public setting for digital signage applications. In some embodiments, the LF display system includes a sensory feedback assembly, a tracking system and/or a viewer profiling module. The sensory feedback assembly may comprise sensory feedback devices that provide sensory feedback to viewers of the LF display system in tandem with the presented holographic content. The tracking system may comprise cameras used to track the viewers of the LF display system. Based on a viewer's tracked position and/or tracked gaze, the LF display system may generate holographic content that is perceivable by certain viewers but not viewable by others. The viewer profiling module may identify each viewer for providing personalized holographic content and may further monitor and record behavior of viewers for informing subsequent presentations of holographic content by the LF display system.

A collapsible pyramid holographic projection imager includes a pyramid imaging member and a bottom fixing member, where the pyramid imaging member includes two support plates and a holographic projection film; a middle of the support plate is shaped as a crisscross framework; the holographic projection film is fixed between the two support plates; four pre-cuts are formed in the bottom fixing member; in response to a collapsed state of the collapsible pyramid holographic projection imager, the pyramid imaging member and the bottom fixing member are placed independently in a sheet manner; and in response to an expanded state of the collapsible pyramid holographic projection imager, the collapsible pyramid holographic projection imager assists an image generation device, and a video or an image played by the image generation device is projected to the collapsible pyramid holographic projection imager to form a three-dimensional (3D) image.

Lighting information comprising at least the reflectance data of a plurality of regions of an object surface is generated and printed out as a series of relightable holograms. Each of the printed holograms comprises the reflectance data of a corresponding region of the object. A model of the object is generated such that the model also comprises a plurality of portions corresponding to the regions of the object surface. The series of holograms are each affixed to a portion of the model such that a particular hologram of the series which encodes the reflectance data of a particular region of the object is affixed to the corresponding portion of the model. In an embodiment, the model of the object is generated from a metal. The series of holograms is engraved directly onto the metallic model such that a particular hologram of the series which encodes the reflectance data of a particular region of the object is engraved onto the corresponding portion of the metallic model.

A flexible package having a tamper evident product authentication label secured thereto and methods of making the same are disclosed. The package includes at least one panel having a heat seal line. The label has an outer surface with authentication indicia appearing thereon and an inner surface adhesively secured to the package adjacent the heat seal line. The label includes peripheral portions that are frangible, with one of the frangible peripheral portions of the label being located within a portion of the area made up by the heat seal line. Accordingly, attempted removal of the label from the package will cause the label to tear, leaving at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the label secured to the package to thereby prevent reuse of the label.
