3D television set or its external speaker box has container for a plurality of 3D spectacles. Container can locate individual 3D spectacles therein. Each of 3D spectacles has unique modulation reflector of infrared synchronizing signal. 3D television set displays 3D image on 3D program upon use of 3D spectacles detected directly by the modulation reflection or indirectly by 3D spectacles not remaining in container. 3D television set displays 2D image on 3D program if nonuse of 3D spectacles is detected directly by the no modulation reflection or indirectly by 3D spectacles remaining in container. Upon detection of nonuse, recommendation display is made to ware 3D spectacles. During 2D commercial message, synchronizing signal is halted. Recommendation to put unnecessary 3D spectacles in container is made upon end of every program, or end of 3D program followed by 2D program, or right before power off of 3D television set.

Shutter glasses, used for watching a display device, comprises a first lens, a second lens, a driving circuit and a processor; both the first lens and the second lens are divided into a plurality of sections from top to bottom, and the driving circuit is connected to the plurality of sections of the first lens and the plurality of sections of the second lens to drive the corresponding sections to be opened and transparent; the processor is connected to the driving circuit to determine an updated area of a display image of the display device, which is currently updated and to determine the sections of the first lens and/or the sections of the second lens corresponding to the updated area, and to control the driving circuit to drive the sections of the first lens and/or the sections of the second lens corresponding to the updated area to be opened.

An electrically controlled spectacle includes a spectacle frame and optoelectronic lenses housed in the frame. The lenses include a left lens and a right lens, each of the optoelectrical lenses having a plurality of states, wherein the state of the left lens is independent of the state of the right lens. The electrically controlled spectacle also includes a control unit housed in the frame, the control unit being adapted to control the state of each of the lenses independently.

A method of digital continuous and simultaneous three-dimensional painting and three-dimensional drawing with steps of providing a digital electronic canvas having at least one display and capable of presenting two pictures for a right eye and a left eye; providing means for creating a continuous 3D virtual canvas by digitally changing a value and sign of horizontal disparity between two images for the right eye and the left eye and their scaling on the digital electronic canvas corresponding to instant virtual distance between the painter and an instant image within the virtual 3D canvas; providing at least one multi-axis input control device allowing digital painting or drawing on the digital electronic canvas; painting within virtual 3D canvas by providing simultaneous appearance of a similar stroke on the images for the right eye and the left eye on the digital electronic canvas.

An augmented reality (AR) gaming system of the present description includes 3D eyewear for each player that allows the player wearing the 3D eyewear to view the surrounding physical space. The 3D eyewear in conjunction with operation of a 3D display assembly of the AR gaming system allows the player to see other players while they also perceive 3D augmentation content that is rendered based on that particular player's tracked location. For example, the 3D augmentation content may include a game object that moves about the virtual gaming environment/space during the game as two (or more) players play the game such as by interacting with the game object via movement of their hand(s) with the movement/location being tracked. The AR gaming system generates the 3D augmentation content to correctly represent the present location of the game object relative to their location and view point.

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 based on the eyeglass frame tilt angle detected.

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.

The invention discloses a multi-human tracking system and method with single Kinect for supporting mobile virtual reality applications. The system can complete the real-time tracking of users occluded in different degrees with a single Kinect capture device to ensure smooth and immersive experience of players. The method utilizes the principle that the user's shadow is not occluded when the user is occluded under certain lighting conditions, and converts the calculation of the motion of the occluded user into a problem of solving the movement of the user's shadow, and can accurately detect the position of each user, rather than just predicting the user's position, thereby actually realizing tracking.

Wearable glasses include a first capturer for photographing a front part, a second capturer for tracking a gaze direction of a user, and a controller for matching a target image captured by the first capturer with a three-dimensional (3D) interior map of a vehicle, corresponding to the target image, and determining a head direction of the user. The controller specifies an object corresponding to user gaze in the target image based on the determined head direction and the tracked gaze direction of the user. Accordingly, user convenience is enhanced.
