A family of single-user autostereoscopic displays with head-tracking capabilities
We present prototypes of autostereoscopic displays which allow single users to experience stereoscopic vision without the need for special eye glasses or helmet-mounted displays. The design of the displays is based on lenticular raster plates and includes a number of novel concepts for tracking of raster plates or projection lenses to account for changes of the viewers position in front of the screen. Applications envisioned include 3-D multimedia desktop visualization for medical and biological imaging, design, and architecture, as well as computer games and 3-D virtual reality in general. Concepts and results for both high-resolution flat liquid-crystal panel monitors for PC desktop applications as well as large screen high resolution displays using rear-projection technology are discussed.
