Visual perception in multi SLM holographic displays

Abstract

The new approach to the analysis of visual perception in holographic displays is presented. Instead of traditional examinations of depth cues the information given by a display and its delivery to an observer is considered in relation to display parameters and reconstruction and observation distances. The presented method allows for analyses of mono- and binocular viewing conditions in specified display setups as well as estimation of the observer’s freedom of movement. The analyses are based on a Wigner distribution of holographic signals provided by a single and a set of spatial light modulators (SLMs) in a circular configuration.
