Geometrical holographic display
share
Is it possible to realize a holographic display with commercial available components and devices? Is it possible to manipulate light to reconstruct light field without using coherent light and complicated optical components? Is it possible to minimize the amount of date involved in building 3D scenes? Is it possible to design a holographic video display that doesn't require huge computational cost? Is it possible to realize a holographic video display with portable form like a flat-panel display commercialized nowadays? This research gives yes answers to all the above questions. A novel geometrical holographic display was proposed, which uses geometrical optical principle to reproduce realistic 3D images with all human visual cues and without visual side effects. In addition, a least necessary light field representation was introduced which can provide guidance for how to minimize the amount of data involved when designing a FP3D or building 3D scenes. Finally, a proof-of-concept prototype is set up which can provide true 3D scenes with depth range larger than 5m.
