Abstract

A multi-view (MV) display panel includes a flat panel display (FPD) having FPD pixels, and lenses configured to image the FPD. Each of the FPD pixels, when imaged through one of the lenses, forms a beamlet that is emitted in a direction unique from other beamlets formed by other FPD pixels through the lens. The lens and the FPD pixels which, when imaged through the lens, form beamlets emitted in different directions collectively configure an MV pixel. Each of the FPD pixels includes multiple sub-pixels. The MV display panel also includes a diffuser arranged between the FPD and the lenses, and a light block configured to isolate a diffusion of the multiple sub-pixels of each FPD pixel from its neighboring FPD pixels. The FPD may be backlit using custom lighting and optics. Lens elements may be staggered in a manner that facilitates assembly of the lenses.

Abstract

An audio-visual system includes an audio source configured to produce multiple audio. The system includes one or more multi-view (MV) pixels, each configured to emit beamlets in different directions in a beamlet coordinate system. The system includes a processor that receives a specification of multiple listening/viewing zones located in a listening/viewing zone coordinate system. The processor associates multiple audio and visual contents with the multiple listening/viewing zones, respectively, and determines an audio mapping that translates between the listening/viewing zone coordinate system and the audio source and a visual mapping that translates between the listening/viewing zone coordinate system and the beamlet coordinate system. For each of multiple audio generated from the multiple audio contents, the processor, using the audio mapping, identifies an audio parameter value to produce the audio at a corresponding listening/viewing zone. For each of multiple images generated from the multiple visual contents, the processor, using the visual mapping, identifies a bundle of beamlets from each of the MV pixels directed to a corresponding listening/viewing zone to form the image.

Abstract

A display system includes one or more multi-view (MV) pixels, each configured to emit beamlets in different directions in a beamlet coordinate system. The display system includes an input node which receives a specification of multiple viewing zones located relative to the MV pixels in a viewing zone coordinate system, and a processor coupled to the input node. The processor associates multiple contents with the multiple viewing zones, respectively, and determines a mapping that translates between the viewing zone coordinate system and the beamlet coordinate system. For each of multiple images generated from the multiple contents, the processor, using the mapping, identifies a bundle of beam lets from each of the MV pixels directed to one viewing zone to form the image. The processor outputs control signaling that defines color and brightness of each of the beamlets in each bundle to project the corresponding image to the corresponding viewing zone.

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for managing a multi-view display, including user interface techniques for manipulating viewing zone information and assigning content to viewing zones in the context of the viewing area. The multi-view display system may be calibrated to a coordinate system of the viewing area. The coordinate system can be based on the physical dimensions of the viewing area, a model or other representation of the viewing area, and/or characteristics detected by a sensing system observing the viewing area. A zone management device provide a user interface showing a representation of the viewing area along with representations of established viewing zones rendered in context within the viewing area. User interface elements allow a user to add, remove, manipulate, configure viewing zones, and/or assign content to viewing zones. User interface elements can also allow a user to manipulate the representation of the viewing area.

Abstract

A multi view display is a display capable of simultaneously showing different images to viewers that see the display from different locations. Viewers do not see the images intended for other viewers at other locations. A multi view display forms images via a collection of multi-view pixels. A multi-view pixel is able to emit different light in different directions; in each direction, parameters of emitted light such as brightness, color, etc., can be controlled independently of the light emitted in other directions. Embodiments of the present invention comprise a computational pipeline and architecture for efficiently distributing image data to the multi-view pixels of a multi-view display.

Abstract

A multi-view architectural lighting (MVAL) system includes one or more multi-view lighting units (“MV lights”) in which the apparent brightness and color of each MV light is individually and simultaneously controllable for different viewing angles. The MV lights can be pointed in arbitrary directions and installed in arbitrary locations in 3D space with respect to one another, consistent with the structure of a building, etc. This enables a lighting designer to create differentiated lighting experiences for different viewers based on their viewing angle with respect to the MV lights. A calibration system maps viewing locations to emitted light directions for each MV light. Using this information, the appearance of each MV light from a given viewing location relative to that MV light is set by adjusting the light (e.g., typically color and intensity, etc.) emitted in the corresponding direction/directions.

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for displaying on a viewing surface of a multi-view display targeted instructional content to a first viewer in a viewing space such that other viewers in other locations of the viewing space are unable to observe the instructional content. The multi-view display is configured to provide differentiated content to viewers located in different positions around the display. In some embodiments, the viewing surface is located in a venue such as a theater, the first viewer is a speaker located on a stage in the venue, and the instructional content is text from a speech or performance to be presented by the speaker.

Abstract

A multi-view display is a display capable of simultaneously showing different images to viewers that see the display from different locations. Viewers do not see the images intended for other viewers at other locations. A multi-view display in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention comprises a light source with a light-emitting aperture that emits light whose direction of propagation can be controlled by a controller. An aperture filter mounted on the aperture forms one or more visible images. Different viewers see different visible images based on characteristics of the light such as color and/or polarization. In some embodiments, the aperture filter can be an active filter, such as an LCD filter, that displays different images synchronized with the direction of propagation of the light.
