The electronic apparatus includes a memory stored with a multiple light field unit (LFU) structure in which a plurality of light fields is arranged in a lattice structure, and a processor configured to, based on a view position within the lattice structure being determined, generate a 360-degree image based on the view position by using the multiple LFU structure, and the processor is configured to select an LFU to which the view position belongs from among the multiple LFU structure, allocate a rendering field-of-view (FOV) in predetermined degrees based on the view position, generate a plurality of view images based on a plurality of light fields comprising the selected LFU and the allocated FOV, and generate the 360-degree image by incorporating the generated plurality of view images.

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.

An information processing device according to the present technology includes a display processing unit that performs processing of displaying a screen indicating, by filtering, camerawork information corresponding to input information of a user among a plurality of pieces of camerawork information, as a camerawork designation screen that receives designation operation of camerawork information that is information indicating at least a movement trajectory of a viewpoint in a free viewpoint image.

A multi-directional backlight and a multi-user multiview display provide emitted light and associated multiview images having different mutually exclusive angular ranges and different user-specific view zones. The multi-directional backlight includes first and second multiview backlights, each of which includes multibeam elements configured to provide emitted light having directional light beams with directions corresponding to view directions of a respective multiview images. The emitted light provided by the first multiview backlight has a first angular range that is mutually exclusive of a second angular range of emitted light provided by the second multiview backlight, at respective first and second convergence distances. The multi-user multiview display includes a first multiview display configured to provide a first multiview image to a first user in a first view zone and a second multiview display configured to provide a second multiview image to a second user in a second view zone.

A multi-user multiview display, system, and method selectively provide either a multiview image when a group of users is within a predefined viewing zone or a two-dimensional (2D) image when the group of users is outside of the predefined viewing zone. The multi-user multiview display includes a broad-angle backlight configured to provide broad-angle emitted light and a multiview backlight configured to directional emitted light. The multi-user multiview display further includes an array of light valves configured to modulate the broad-angle emitted light to provide the 2D image and to modulate the directional emitted light to provide the multiview image within a predefined viewing zone. A head tracker may be employed to track users of the group of user to determine whether or not to provide the multiview image or the 2D image based on a location of the group of users.

A method or system can be configured to receive content associated with a scene; optionally, format the content as a three-dimensional image; render the content or three-dimensional image in a display-readable format; optionally, authenticate the display; and display the formatted content such that the formatted content is perceivable as three-dimensional for one or more viewers.

An autostereoscopic display device and a method are provided. The autostereoscopic display device includes a display panel, a plurality of collimation units, and a plurality of refraction units. The display panel has a plurality of pixel groups, each of the pixel groups includes a plurality of pixels, all of the pixels are arranged in an array, and the display panel emits image light in a light-emitting direction. Each of the collimation units is located at one side of at least one pixel to receive the image light, and each of the collimation units converges the image light into collimated image light. Each of the refraction units is located in front of at least one pixel on two sides of a center of the pixel group, so as to receive the collimated image light and refract the collimated image light into refraction image light.
