An infrared polarizing filter is attached to an infrared synchronization signal radiator of a stereoscopic image display device which alternately displays right and left images by time-division with polarized light in one direction to radiate the polarized-light infrared synchronization signal. The problem with the occurrence of crosstalk is solved. Stereoscopic image appreciation eyeglasses have polarizing plates, visual field opening/closing liquid crystal cells and tilt correcting liquid crystal cells. The synchronization signal is received by a receiver mounted on an eyeglass frame. The tilt correcting liquid crystal cells are adjusted by a voltage based on the eyeglass frame tilt angle detected.

An image encoding method includes, for each of left and right images of an image stereo pair, identifying a region of interest (ROI) in an input image, generating multiple representations of that input image such that one representation is a high field of view (FOV) representation including substantially all of the input image and another representation is a low FOV representation having a lower FOV than the high FOV representation and including at least the ROI. The relationship between pixel resolution and image size for the high and low FOV representations is such that, in relation to the ROI, the low FOV representation provides more image detail than the high FOV representation. The method also includes generating one or more multiplexed images by juxtaposing portions of the left and right, high and low FOV representations so as to include all image content thereof in fewer than four multiplexed images.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for integrating and optimizing a surgical suite. An ophthalmic suite can include a surgical console, a heads-up display communicatively coupled with a surgical camera for capturing a three-dimensional image of an eye, and a surgical suite optimization engine. The surgical suite optimization engine can performs a wide variety of actions in response to action codes received from the other components in the surgical suite. The surgical suite optimization engine can be integrated within another component of the surgical suite, can be a stand-alone module, and can be a cloud-based tool.

A head-mounted display includes a display device, a bonding structure connected to the display device, an adjusting mechanism connected to the bonding structure, and a rotation button connected to the adjusting mechanism. When the rotation button is rotated, the length of the bonding structure is changed by the adjusting mechanism.

Techniques are disclosed relating to the transmission of data based on a polarization of a light signal. In some embodiments, data may include 3D video data for viewing by a user. Systems for transmitting data may include a display device and a device for switching the polarization of a video source. Systems for receiving data may include eyewear configured to present images with orthogonal polarization to each eye. In some embodiments, the rate of switching of the polarization switcher may introduce a distortion to the optical data. A Pi-cell device may be used in some embodiments to reduce distortion based on switching speed. In some embodiments, polarization switchers may introduce a distortion based on the frequency of transmitted light. In some embodiments, optical elements including in the transmitting or receiving devices may be configured to reduce distortions based on frequency.

A 3D conversion lens and a control method thereof are disclosed. The 3D conversion lens has a first substrate and a second substrate, the first substrate and the second substrate forming a box; electronic ink, the electronic ink filling in the box cavity of the box, and the electronic ink has opaque charged particles, the opaque charged particles have opaque pigment; an electrode formed on the first substrate; and an electrode formed on at least one side wall of the box cavity. With the conventional liquid crystal layer replaced by electronic ink, 3D display effect of the glasses is realized by controlling positive and negative polarity of the transparent electrodes on the substrate and the side wall of the box cavity. In this way, it is unnecessary to control and realize deflection of the liquid crystals, which simplifies the circuit structure and the preparation process of the 3D glasses.

An approach for projecting light may be implemented using a acousto-optical depth switch that uses surface acoustic waves produced along a substrate to guide image light to different areas. The surface acoustic waves may be generated on a substrate using a transducer. Surface acoustic waves of different frequencies can guide image light onto different optical elements at different physical positions. The optical elements may be configured to show objects in an image at different distances from a viewer.

There is provided an image processing device that processes a projection image presented to a plurality of persons at the same time. The image processing device specifies an overlapping area in which fields of view of two or more users overlap based on information on each user, classifies objects included in the overlapping area into a first object group and a second object group, generates a common image common to all users, made up of the first object group, generates individual images different for each user, made up of the second object group, and determines an output protocol for displaying the individual images.
