Systems and methods presented herein include light field displays configured to display primary autostereoscopic images and to simultaneously project light rays toward display devices (e.g., either reflective devices or cameras) to display secondary autostereoscopic images via the display devices. The light rays projected from the light field displays are controlled by a control system based at least in part on positional tracking data (e.g., position, orientation, and/or movement) of the display devices and/or of a portion of humans associated with the display devices, which may be detected via sensors of the display devices and/or via cameras disposed about a physical environment within which the display devices and the humans are located. Specifically, the control system calculates light field vector functions for light rays to be projected toward each individual display device based at least in part on positional tracking data for that particular display device and/or its associated human.

Systems and methods presented herein include light field displays configured to display primary autostereoscopic images and to simultaneously project (e.g., in real time, while displaying their own primary autostereoscopic images) light rays toward display devices (e.g., either reflective devices or cameras) to display secondary autostereoscopic images via the display devices. The light rays projected from the light field displays are controlled by a control system based at least in part on positional data (e.g., position, orientation, and/or movement) of the display devices, which may be determined by the control system based at least in part on detection of light rays that are reflected off the display devices.

Disclosed are a system and method for measuring viewing zone characteristics of an autostereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) image display device. The system for measuring viewing zone characteristics of the autostereoscopic 3D image display device includes at least one image sensor that is provided on a front side of the image display device, and measures characteristics of luminance distribution of viewpoint images in a depth direction (Z-direction) formed from at least two local areas which are designated in advance in a horizontal direction (X-direction) of the image display device, and a determination unit that determines, as an optimum viewing distance (OVD), a position of the image sensor corresponding to a depth direction (Z-direction) having a horizontal direction (X-direction) minimum deviation of a center position of luminance distribution of light generated from the same viewpoint image of each of the at least two local areas by analyzing the characteristics of luminance distribution on an X-Z plane measured from the image sensor.

Provided is a display device (10) including a plurality of light emission points (125). A region group (209) including a plurality of regions (207) which are set on a plane (205) including a pupil of a user is irradiated with light emitted from each of the plurality of light emission points, each of the plurality of light emission points causes light corresponding to a combination of the light emission point and the region to be incident on each of the regions, a number of the regions set on the pupil of the user is two or more, and a size of each of the regions is smaller than 0.6 (mm), and the display device is capable of providing display that is more favorable to a user with presbyopia or myopia.

A system configured to display autostereoscopic video (AV) may determine a depth setting for displaying the AV based on at least one of user parameters or device parameters, and may proceed to display the AV on a display based on the depth setting. In one embodiment the system may try to obtain user parameters before relying on device parameters. User parameters may be available from user profiles. For example, facial recognition may be used to determine if a user profile exists for a user. If a user profile is determined not to exist for the user, then the system may sense a distance from the display to the viewer, and may proceed to determine the depth setting based on the distance and device characteristics. Device characteristics may identify the manufacturer/model of the system, the type/size of display on which the AV will be viewed, the abilities of the system, etc.
