The goal of the 3-D Display research
is to design a system with "television-like" characteristics:
-Autostereoscopy, functioning without
the use of glasses or head-gear.
-Capability of delivering images
to multiple viewers(4+) at their respective locations.
-Capability of providing full color
3-D and proper occlusion(depth cue allowing an object
in the foreground to
block the ones behind it).
-Minimum information requirements.
-Scaleability, and the issues of
size vs. technical possibility/cost.
The Mark
I display updates at a video rate of 30fps, has a 30 degree viewzone
accomodating a single veiwer, and uses
viewer tracking to project stereo
image pairs into space. The Mark II display is still being designed and
aims to decrease
size/componets, deliver images
to more than one viewer by widening the viewer angle, and improve
viewer tracking.
