In a system for 360 degree video capture and playback, 360 degree video may be captured, stitched, encoded, decoded, rendered, and played-back. In one or more implementations, a decoding device receives a 360 degree video stream as input and decodes the 360 degree video stream, and a memory device stores the 360 degree video stream and viewing history data associated with the 360 degree video stream. A rendering device may render the decoded stream using view angles from the viewing history data. In one or more implementations, an object tracking device tracks one or more objects in the decoded 360 degree video stream and provides one or more tracking angles associated with the objects. The rendering device may render the decoded 360 degree video stream using the one or more tracking angles to keep at least one object in the 360 degree video stream for one or more rendered frames.

A video display device displays multiple-parallax video using a parallax barrier method, the video display device comprising: a display unit displaying pixel columns of a given image and pixel columns of one or more parallax images corresponding to the given image, all of the pixel columns being arranged in predetermined order; and a parallax barrier arranged at a predetermined distance from an image display face of the display unit, and having a plurality of elongated passing regions passing light rays from the display unit, wherein at least one of the passing regions has a waveform formed at a longitudinal edge thereof, and at least one waveform includes two wave units that differ in terms of wave height or wave width.

An information processing device includes: a unit to acquire position information on a first user and a second user; a display control unit to cause a display device capable of varying display contents according to display directions to display first contents so as to be viewable from a position of the first user and to display second contents so as to be viewable from a position of the second user; a unit to detect that the first user and the second user are in a predetermined positional relationship; and a unit to judge whether or not a user has viewing authority with respect to contents, wherein when the predetermined positional relationship is detected, the display control unit causes the display device to stop display of contents, for which at least one of the first user and the second user does not have viewing authority.

Presenting a view based on a virtual viewpoint in a three dimensional (3D) scene. The 3D scene may be presented by at least one display, which includes displaying at least one stereoscopic image of the 3D scene by the display(s). The 3D scene may be presented according to a first viewpoint. A virtual viewpoint may be determined within the 3D scene that is different than the first viewpoint. The view of the 3D scene may be presented on the display(s) according to the virtual viewpoint and/or the first view point. The presentation of the view of the 3D scene is performed concurrently with presenting the 3D scene.

An auto-stereoscopic display apparatus and a storage media are provided. The auto-stereoscopic display apparatus includes a display area, which includes a display panel and a lens layer. The display panel includes a plurality of pixel rows sequentially arranged in a first direction. Each one of the pixel rows includes a plurality of pixels sequentially arranged in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. Each one of the pixels includes a plurality of sub-pixels sequentially arranged in the second direction. The lens layer is disposed on the display panel and includes a plurality of lenticular lenses substantially arranged in the second direction. N successive sub-pixels in each pixel row are corporately covered by one of the lenticular lenses. A ratio of a component of a width in the second direction of each lenticular lens to a width of each sub-pixel in the second direction is configured to a non-integer.

A 3-dimensional image display device includes a signal controller, a data driver, a display panel, and glasses. The signal controller includes a reference gamma data generator to correct image data. The data driver includes a gray voltage generator to generate a gray voltage based on the corrected image data. The display panel displays left-eye and right-eye images based on a data voltage from the data driver. The lenses of the glasses are controlled by a glasses synchronization signal from the signal controller, to compensate for charging rates of the left-eye and right-eye images.

A substrate, a grating and a display panel are provided. The substrate comprises a plurality of sub-pixel groups arranged periodically, each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups comprises: a first type of sub-pixel group which is configured for displaying a plurality of viewpoint images and comprises a first sub-pixel unit (201) configured for displaying a first viewpoint image, a second sub-pixel unit (201) configured for displaying a second viewpoint image and a third sub-pixel unit (203) configured for displaying a third viewpoint image; each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups at least comprises a first sub-pixel column and a second sub-pixel columns; and the first sub-pixel unit (201) is located in the first sub-pixel column of each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups, the second sub-pixel unit (202) and the third sub-pixel unit (203) are located in the second sub-pixel column of each of the plurality of sub-pixel groups, the second sub-pixel column and the first sub-pixel column are adjacent to each other and are staggered a preset distance in a vertical direction, and the preset distance is smaller than a width of one sub-pixel unit. Through the arrangement of the sub-pixel units on the substrate, the viewing angle of each viewpoint image is increased, and because within each viewing angle, only the viewpoint image corresponding to the viewing angle can be seen, the interference between different viewpoint images is reduced.
