Field of view expansion by color separation
A display system is presented for displaying a color stereoscopic image comprising first and second images for user's left and right eyes respectively. A first display is configured for displaying first and second color channels of the first image to the left eye, such that a field of view of the first color channel of the first image is offset from a field of view of the second color channel of the first image in a first direction. A second display is configured for displaying first and second color channels of the second image to the right eye, such that a field of view of the first color channel of the second image is offset from a field of view of the second color channel of the second image in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
Apparatus and Method for Image Display
An apparatus and a method for image display include a projection screen, a projection device, a control unit, and an imaging element. The projection screen is movable back and forth along an axis perpendicular to the projection face under control from the control unit. The control unit is configured to divide an image to be projected into a set of sub-images depending on distances, of one or more objects in the image, to be perceived by a user along the axis, and to control the projection screen and the projection device such that the projection device projects the set of sub-images onto the projection face when the projection face is moving to different positions respectively. The imaging optical element is configured to form a virtual image of the respective sub-image when the projection face is moving to the corresponding position.
Beam combining for highlight projection
A novel projection system includes first and second light sources (e.g., sets of lasers), a spatial light modulator (SLM) that receives light from the first light source, and a beam steering device that receives light from the second light source and steers the light to highlight regions of the SLM. The SLM then modulates the light from both light sources to generate a highlighted imaging beam which can then be projected on a viewing surface. The highlighted imaging beam can represent a highlighted 2D image or a highlighted left- or right-eye view of a 3D image. The projection system thus improves peak brightness in the displayed highlighted images without incorporating a separate highlight projector or other expensive equipment. Methods for highlighting projected images are also described.

PRE-STITCHING TUNING AUTOMATION FOR PANORAMIC VR APPLICATIONS
Methods, systems and apparatuses may provide for technology that identifies a seam area between a pair of images corresponding to a first eye and determines a disparity between the seam area and a reference area at a center line of a reference image corresponding to a second eye. The technology may also automatically adjust one or more pre-stitch parameters of camera sensors associated with the pair of images and the reference image based on the disparity.

Light Management for Image and Data Control
Methods and devices for improving visual perception in challenging vision environments and for some with low vision conditions (including age related macular degeneration, AMD) are disclosed. A plurality of frequently co-pathological conditions that together make undistorted, clear and bright vision challenging are dealt with by managing the nature, amounts and patterns of light reaching the eyes while managing the sensitivity and dynamic ranges of the eyes. For example, the sensitivity of chromophore response to particular wavelengths and the instant status of the visual transduction system are, in some embodiments, measured, monitored and managed.

Display system and method for display control of a video based on different view positions
A display-control apparatus and method for position-based control of display of a video on a display screen are disclosed. Based on retrieval of the video in which each image frame is embedded in one of a plurality of view angles with respect to a reference axis, the display-control apparatus may control display of the video on the display screen. The display controller may control display of the retrieved video on the display screen. The display screen may be viewable from different view positions of a defined area. Further, the display of the retrieved video on the display screen may be controlled such that a first sequence of image frames associated with a first view angle of the plurality of view angles may be viewable through a first type of wearable glasses from a first view position of the different view positions.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY TO PERFORM STEREO AERIAL PHOTO INTERPRETATION
A system for performing stereoscopic views of digital photographs using a high resolution, retina display monitor, one or more lens stereoscopes positioned over a plurality of computer loaded images that has been pre-positioned and properly zoomed in for comparative purposes. A method for using the aforementioned system to perform 3D aerial photograph interpretations on digital only, rather than analog, images sent to the system and properly aligned/positioned on a high-resolution monitor using one or more positioned lens stereoscopes.
