An electronic device may include a stereoscopic display with a plurality of lenticular lenses that extend across the length of the display. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may have different viewing zones that account for horizontal parallax as a viewer moves horizontally relative to the display. The display may be dimmed globally based on the detected vertical position of the viewer. The magnitude of dimming applied to the display may increase with increasing deviation of the viewer from a baseline viewing angle. The display may render content that compensates for the real-time vertical position of the viewer. Another option for the stereoscopic display is to include a lens film that has an array of lenses. Each lens in the array of lenses spreads light in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

To provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program for restraining a burden on a user who observes a three-dimensional image. Therefore, a display control unit performs display control to cause a three-dimensional image to be displayed so that a first plane surface parallel to a horizontal plane in a real space is observed in an area based on a distance between a lower end and an upper end of a display surface on which a display unit displays the three-dimensional image and an angle between the horizontal plane and the display surface.

A method and a system for information display are proposed. The system includes a light transmissive display, at least one first information extraction device, at least one second information extraction device, and a processing device, where the processing device is connected to the display, the first information extraction device, and the second information extraction device. The first information extraction device is configured to obtain position information of a user. The second information extraction device is configured to obtain position information of a target. The processing device is configured to perform coordinate transformation on the position information of the user and the position information of the object to generate fused information between the user and the target, and to display related information of the object on the display according to the fused information.

A panoramic image system with parallax mitigation includes image sensors, a head tracker, a display, and a processor. Each image sensor is fixedly mounted a predetermined linear distance from a first reference axis and is disposed adjacent to at least one other image sensor and to point in a direction that is offset from its adjacent image sensor by a predetermined angle. The head tracker is configured to sense at least the angular position and movement direction of a viewer's head about a second reference axis and to supply an azimuth position signal representative thereof. The display is configured to selectively display images sensed by each of the image sensors. The processor is in operable communication with the image sensors, head tracker, and display. The processor is configured, based at least on the azimuth position signal, to command the display to display images sensed by only one image sensor.

The stereoscopic image display device which displays images corresponding to each of a plurality of viewpoints includes: a stereoscopic image display panel which includes a display panel in which a plurality of pixels are arranged and a light-ray separating module provided on the display panel for separating parallax images from each of the pixels towards a plurality of N-viewpoints (N is a natural number of 2 or larger) according to the layout direction of each of the pixels; an observer position measuring unit which measures an observing position of the observer who is facing the display surface; a relative position calculating unit which calculates a relative position of the observer with respect to the stereoscopic image display panel based on the measurement result; and an image generation processing unit which generates viewpoint image by corresponding to the relative position and outputs the image towards the stereoscopic image display panel.

A system and/or method that uses a body posture of a user to determine and modulate a content mode of a virtual reality system. The content mode may define the manner in which virtual reality content is presented to the user and/or the manner in which the user interacts with the virtual reality content. The user's body posture and/or a change in body posture may cause the content mode and/or the virtual reality content to change accordingly. In some implementations, primary content may be presented to the user according to a first content mode in response to the user sitting. Secondary virtual reality content may be presented to the user according to the second content mode in response to the user standing. As such, a user may initiate a change in the virtual reality content and/or the content mode by standing from a sitting posture and/or sitting from a standing posture.

A Predictive, Foveated Virtual Reality System may capture views of the world around a user using multiple resolutions. The Predictive, Foveated Virtual Reality System may include one or more cameras configured to capture lower resolution image data for a peripheral field of view while capturing higher resolution image data for a narrow field of view corresponding to a user's line of sight. Additionally, the Predictive, Foveated Virtual Reality System may also include one or more sensors or other mechanisms, such as gaze tracking modules or accelerometers, to detect or track motion. A Predictive, Foveated Virtual Reality System may also predict, based on a user's head and eye motion, the user's future line of sight and may capture image data corresponding to a predicted line of sight. When the user subsequently looks in that direction the system may display the previously captured (and augmented) view.
