A display device capable of automatically switching display of a stereoscopic image and a display of a planar image according to a detected situation of a user is provided. Provided is the display device including a display unit capable of displaying a planar image and a stereoscopic image, and a control unit configured to automatically switch an image to be displayed on the display unit to the planar image or the stereoscopic image, using a detected state of the user.

A display system renders a motion parallax view of object images based upon multiple observers. Also, a headset renders stereoscopic images that augment either physical objects viewed through the headset, or virtual objects projected by a stereoscopic display separate from the headset, or both. The headset includes a system for locating both physical objects and object images within a stereographic projection. Also, a proprioceptive user interface defines interface locations relative to body parts of an observer, the body parts include the head and the shoulders of the observer. The observer may enable a process associated with the interface location by indicating an intersection with the interface location with a physical object, such as a wand or a finger of the observer.

Systems and methods are described for mirroring 3D content from a first display (which may be a handheld 2D display) to a second display (which may be a 3D display, such as a light field display). The 3D content is initially displayed (e.g. as a 2D projection) on a the first display. The relative positions and/or orientations of the first and second displays are determined. The position of a user viewing the content may also be determined or may be inferred from the position and orientation of the first display. The second display is provided with information used to display the 3D content with a size and/or orientation that preserves the original apparent size and/or apparent orientation of that content from the perspective of the user.

An image processing method includes determining a display mode; processing, according to an image processing manner corresponding to the display mode, original image data to obtain target image data; and transmitting the target image data to an image display terminal, so that the image display terminal performs image display according to a scanning display manner corresponding to the display mode, a resolution of the target image data is less than or equal to that of the original image data, and the target image data carries indication information of the display mode.

A method, system and computer readable program storage device for controlling placement of a holographic object in a specified area. In an embodiment, the method comprises identifying, by one or more processors, at least one person in a specified area; determining by the one or more processors, a sight zone in the specified area for the identified at least one person; creating, by a holographic projector, a holographic object in the specified area; and controlling, by the one or more processors, a location of the holographic object to keep the holographic object out of said determined sight zone. In an embodiment, a group of persons are identified in the specified area as having no interest or a low interest in the holographic object, and an aggregate sight zone is determined for this group of persons. An allow zone, outside this aggregate sight zone, is determined for the holographic object, and the controlling a location of the holographic object includes keeping the holographic object in the allow zone.

In one implementation, a method of operating a lenticular display is performed by a device including a processor, non-transitory memory, an image sensor, and a lenticular display. The method includes displaying, via the lenticular display, first content at a horizontal angle of a first user and second content, different than the first content, at a horizontal angle of a second user. The method further includes displaying, via the lenticular display, the first content at a second horizontal angle of the first user and the second content at a second horizontal angle of the second user.

A first device displays a first view of virtual content on the first device, establishes connection between the first device and a second device, receives movement data of the second device through the established connection, obtains at least one of direction information and rotation information based on the received movement data, and changes the first view to a second view corresponding to the obtained at least one of the direction information and the rotation information in the virtual content.
