Abstract

We present an immaterial display that uses a generalized form of depth-fused 3D (DFD) rendering to create unencumbered 3D visuals. To accomplish this result, we demonstrate a DFD display simulator that extends the established depth-fused 3D principle by using screens in arbitrary configurations and from arbitrary viewpoints. The performance of the generalized DFD effect is established with a user study using the simulator. Based on these results, we developed a prototype display using two immaterial screens to create an unencumbered 3D visual that users can penetrate, enabling the potential for direct walk-through and reach-through manipulation of the 3D scene.

A movable immaterial volumetric display
SA '13: SIGGRAPH Asia 2013 Posters

We have created a movable, limitedly volumetric "immaterial" display. Our prototype is the first mobile, hand-held fogscreen. It can show e.g., slices of volumetric objects when swept across mid-air. It is based on the patented FogScreen [Fogio 2013] ...
Autostereoscopic 3D Displays

Autostereoscopic displays provide 3D perception without the need for special glasses or other head gear. Drawing upon three basic technologies, developers can make two different types of autostereoscopic displays: a two-view, head-tracked display for ...
