Abstract

A method and system for a scalable multi-sense user experience are disclosed. A three-dimensional (“3-D”) display is disposed behind a slit plane comprising slits and ultrasonic transducers. Light from the 3-D display passes through the slits in the slit plane to generate a 3-D image. The ultrasonic transducers on the front of the slit plane, i.e., opposite the side where the 3-D display is disposed, generate directed acoustic field and/or a formed tactile field. Because the generating components for all three senses, i.e., visual, audio, and tactile, are coplanar, units may be tiled and thereby scaled to generate larger multi-sense experiences.

Abstract

In modular video display systems, such as video wall systems, it is common to tile many separate display modules together to form a single display surface which has faint or unnoticeable seams. In such systems, the full resolution video signal is usually split into portions that correspond to the display tiles, and each portion of the video is shown on a different display tile. A uniform scan refresh method may be used for every tile, leading to the neighboring scan lines across some tile boundaries to be updated at different times. This effect, which may cause a temporal artifact for viewers of the video, can be greatly reduced by refreshing scan lines in alternate rows or columns of the display tiles in opposite directions, leading to scan lines across boundaries between tiles being updated at the same time.

Abstract

A light field display system is implemented in a consumer device to present the user of the consumer device with holographic content, providing the user with an immersive operational experience. The system generates and presents holographic content for the user. The system receives a command from the user. In some embodiments, the presented holographic content may comprise a holographic user interface that is used by the system to receive the commands from the user. Subsequently, the system recognizes the received commands, determines one or more computational commands for execution by the system, and executes the determined computational command.

Abstract

A light field (LF) display system presents holographic content to one or more viewers in a public setting for digital signage applications. In some embodiments, the LF display system includes a sensory feedback assembly, a tracking system and/or a viewer profiling module. The sensory feedback assembly may comprise sensory feedback devices that provide sensory feedback to viewers of the LF display system in tandem with the presented holographic content. The tracking system may comprise cameras used to track the viewers of the LF display system. Based on a viewer's tracked position and/or tracked gaze, the LF display system may generate holographic content that is perceivable by certain viewers but not viewable by others. The viewer profiling module may identify each viewer for providing personalized holographic content and may further monitor and record behavior of viewers for informing subsequent presentations of holographic content by the LF display system.

Abstract

A method and system for a scalable multi-sense user experience are disclosed. A three-dimensional (“3-D”) display is disposed behind a slit plane comprising slits and ultrasonic transducers. Light from the 3-D display passes through the slits in the slit plane to generate a 3-D image. The ultrasonic transducers on the front of the slit plane, i.e., opposite the side where the 3-D display is disposed, generate directed acoustic field and/or a formed tactile field. Because the generating components for all three senses, i.e., visual, audio, and tactile, are coplanar, units may be tiled and thereby scaled to generate larger multi-sense experiences.
