Near-eye display module releasing the eye's focus from fixed plane
11575881 · 2023-02-07 · ·

The invention discloses a near-eye display module which includes at least one projection module, a bracing structure, and a control unit, releasing the eye's focus from a fixed plane. A projection module consists of more than one projection units, and the bracing structure functions as a holder for these projection units. A projection unit includes a display panel, a converging device which converges the light beams incident onto or outgoing from the display panel, and a deflection aperture which deflects the light coming from the converging device. The viewer wears two such near-eye display modules as eye-glasses. In the near-eye display module corresponding to an eye, the projection units of a same projection module jointly project at least one whole image to this eye, for VAC-free (Convergence-Accommodation conflict-free) three dimensional (3D) display based on Maxwellian view or multiple-images-one-eye.

Disclosed is a method for generating a digital hologram representing a 3D scene including an object, an object being defined by points and their associated intensity. For each object, a prior step of calculating an “omnidirectional” angular spectrum of the light field emitted by an object in the scene on the surface of a geometric solid centered on the object, a surface of the solid being sampled according to a predetermined grid, a sample of the grid being associated with a vector frequency; for the scene, the following steps: —obtaining a pose of an observer in the world frame of reference; —deriving the hologram from the scene as a function of the pose obtained from the “multidirectional” angular spectra calculated for each object. The step of calculating an angular spectrum of the light field for each object of the scene takes into account predetermined viewing directions.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROJECTING 2D AND 3D MOTION PICTURES AT HIGH FRAME RATES
20220191465 · 2022-06-16 · ·

High-frame-rate stereoscopic projection using a single digital projector provides a powerful sense of immersion when shown on wide screens, and the human eye perceives each frame as unique and separate from the others by virtue of the natural left-right “shuttering” that occurs via the chosen 3D projection technology. Techniques are provided for the introduction of one or more consecutive “digital dark frames” into the image streams presented to the dual projectors in such a manner that the sequence of out-of-phase photography is replicated via out-of-phase projection. This is achieved by alternately introducing the dark frames so that the sequence of stereoscopic images is presented in proper temporal continuity.
