A direct interaction stereoscopic display system that produces an augmented or virtual reality environment. The system comprises one or more displays, a beam combiner, and a mirrored surface to virtually project high-resolution flicker-free stereoscopic 3D imagery into a graphics volume in an open region. Viewpoint tracking is provided enabling motion parallax cues. A user interaction volume co-inhabits the graphics volume and a precise low-latency sensor allows users to directly interact with 3D virtual objects or interfaces without occluding the graphics. An adjustable support frame permits the 3D imagery to be readily positioned in situ with real environments for augmented reality applications. Individual display components may be adjusted to precisely align the 3D imagery with components of real environments for high-precision applications and also to match accommodation-vergence distances to prevent eye strain. The system's modular design and adjustability allows display panel pairs of various sizes and models to be installed.

A head mounted display device includes a display panel and a lens assembly mounted so that an optical axis of the lens assembly intersects the display panel. The lens assembly includes a lens body having a surface facing the display panel and defining Fresnel prisms. A Fresnel prism of the Fresnel prisms has a first facet angle when viewed in a first cross-section and has a second facet angle when viewed in a second cross-section parallel to the first cross-section. The first facet angle is different than the second facet angle.

System and method for presenting magnified images locked onto object of interest in operator environment. A camera disposed on head of operator captures images of scene, where camera moves in conjunction with head movements. A head tracker detects the operator LOS by detecting at least head orientation. A processor obtains designated coordinates of object of interest in scene, and determines relative angle between detected operator LOS and object. The processor determines coordinates of object in acquired images, and applies image processing for fine stabilization of images based on previous images so as to compensate for operator head movements. The processor rescales an image region surrounding object of interest, in accordance with at least one display parameter, to produce respective magnified image frames of object. A head-mounted display displays the magnified images to operator such that object of interest appears in a defined position on display regardless of operator head movements.

A device for viewing stereoscopic 3D images using an electronic device with a screen display includes: a head fastener; a holder to receive and removably accommodate the electronic device in an accommodation space; a lens focusing light from the screen display to the eyes of the user; and a distance part, providing a predetermined distance between the lens and the screen display. The lens part provides a first image from a first part of the screen display to a first eye of the user, and a second image from a second part of the screen display to a second eye of the user. The holder part is supported relative to the lens by the distance part, the distance part being arranged to be reversibly collapsible, from a fully expanded state, in which the lens part is arranged at said predetermined distance from the screen display, to a contracted state.

The present disclosure relates to a display for a personal immersion apparatus for embodying the virtual reality or the augmented reality. The present disclosure suggests a display for a personal immersion apparatus comprising: a display panel; and an imaging lens; wherein the display panel includes: a plurality of pixel areas disposed on a substrate; an emission area defined in the each pixel area; a non-emission area surrounding the emission area in the each pixel area; and a micro deflector configured to deflect lights scattered over the non-emission area from the emission area to a normal direction with respect to a surface of the substrate, and to provide the deflected lights to the imaging lens, and wherein the imaging lens is disposed apart from the display panel with a focal length of the imaging lens.

An input device with a projecting function is provided, including: a first input device and a second input device. The first input device has a first projection unit, and the second input device has a second projection unit. The first projection unit and the second projection unit are configured to execute 2D projection or 3D projection. When a projection direction of the first projection unit is the same as that of the second projection unit, the first projection unit and the second projection unit execute the 2D projection. When the projection direction of the first projection unit is perpendicular to that of the second projection unit, the first projection unit and the second projection unit execute the 3D projection. The present disclosure provides a relatively sharp 2D projected image and a function of simplifying a structure of an input device.

There is provided a system including a non-transitory memory storing an executable code and a hardware processor executing the code to receive a video content including a plurality of frames showing a scene from a perspective of a real camera, create a three-dimensional (3D) model of the scene using the plurality of frames, store the 3D model of the scene in the non-transitory memory, construct a synthetic view of the scene showing additional perspectives from one or more virtual cameras at one or more locations in the scene, transmit the synthetic view of the scene for being displayed on a display, display a scene of the video content on the display, track a position of a viewer moving in a room, and adjust the display of the scene being displayed on the display based on the position of the viewer in the room relative to the display.

An exemplary virtual reality media provider system (“system”) includes a configuration of synchronous video and depth capture devices disposed at fixed positions at a real-world event. In real time, the video and depth capture devices capture two-dimensional video data and depth data for surfaces of objects at the real-world event. The system generates a real-time volumetric data stream representative of a dynamic volumetric model of the surfaces of the objects at the real-world event in real time based on the captured two-dimensional video data and captured depth data. The dynamic volumetric model of the surfaces of the objects at the real-world event is configured to be used to generate virtual reality media content representative of the real-world event as experienced from a dynamically selectable viewpoint corresponding to an arbitrary location at the real-world event and selected by a user experiencing the real-world event using a media player device.

An auto-stereoscopic display device includes a display panel having an array of display pixels for producing a display; and a view forming unit having an array of view forming elements. Each view forming elements is configurable to focus the outputs of groups of the display pixels into views projected towards a user in different directions. The display device further includes a view deflecting unit to selectably change the directions in which the plurality of views is projected towards the user. The view deflecting unit includes at least one birefringent prism having a first refractive index for light having a first polarization direction and a second refractive index for light having a second polarization direction.
