A mobile phone/device case or cover having a 3D camera, realized by integrating or connecting two cameras and a 3D viewer sheet integrated on the phone/device case or cover; wherein the 3D camera comprises: a V-shaped optical component having left and right arms, which act as light guides to guide the light from an object, onto an image sensor, and a focusing lens for focusing an image on the image sensor, where two images are formed of any object in the field of view of the V-shaped optical component.

A method of autostereoscopic imaging including providing an autostereoscopic illumination unit including a lens field composed of a multiplicity of individual lenses or concave mirrors, and modulating an emission characteristic of the light source such that the individual lenses or the concave mirrors are illuminated only partly by the light source, wherein light from the light source impinges on the individual lenses or concave mirrors such that an emission characteristic of a three-dimensional object is imitated, the lens field extends over a spatial angle range of at least 2 sr relative to the light source or an external observer, the individual lenses or concave mirrors are distributed over the lens field and are at least partially sequentially irradiated, and the light source is formed by one or more lasers and the laser or each of the lasers irradiates/irradiate only one of the individual lenses at a specific point in time.

An image processing apparatus is described comprising a first acquisition unit configured to acquire image data from an image capturing apparatus and a second acquisition unit configured to acquire display installation information indicating a configuration of one or more display screens in a display installation to be simulated. A generation unit is provided to generate, based on the display installation information and the acquired image data, a simulation image that simulates display of the image on the display installation. A display control unit is provided to display the simulation image on a display device.

A privacy display comprises a luminance-privacy arrangement and a contrast-privacy arrangement. In a privacy mode of operation, ambient light levels are detected and a visual security level is calculated. At and above a visual security level threshold the luminance-privacy arrangement is operable and below the threshold both the luminance-privacy and contrast-privacy arrangements are operable. Image quality for on-axis users is optimised and high levels of visual security are achieved for off-axis snoopers over a wide range of display illuminance conditions.

A display system for realizing concentric light field with monocular-to-binocular hybridization, and methods thereof. At least some embodiments include a display arranged to emit or transmit light rays based on image content from a content engine, and an optical subsystem arranged to configure the light rays into a concentric light field. The concentric light field provides a virtual image in a large, contiguous spatial region, such that each eye of the human viewer can detect monocular depth from the light field, to provide a large field of view.

Provided is a display device including: left and right displays that are spaced apart from each other; left and right lens groups respectively located at the rear of the left display and the rear of the right display; left and right display housings configured to surround the left and right displays and the left and right lens groups; a main frame provided between the left and right display housings; a connection structure capable of adjusting an angle between the main frame and a connector electrically connected to an external electronic device; and electronic components provided inside the main frame.

A portable device includes a display module, an image capture module, and an eye-tracking module. The image capture module is used to capture images steadily. The eye-tracking module is used to track a user's viewpoint position relative to the portable device. Viewport within the images captured by the image capture module is adjusted in accordance with the user's viewpoint position for generating modified images displayed on the display module instantaneously. The modified images shown on the display module can fit the background scene seen by the user, and the augmented reality experience on the portable device may be improved accordingly.
