Dynamic three-dimensional light-field display with large viewing angle based on compound lenticular lens array and multi-projectors

Abstract

Real-time terrain rendering with high-resolution has been a hot spot in computer graphics for many years, which is widely used in electronic maps. However, the traditional two-dimensional display cannot provide the occlusion relationship between buildings, which restricts the observers' judgment of spatial accuracy. With three projectors, compound lenticular lens array and holographic functional screen, a dynamic three-dimensional (3D) light-field display with 90° viewing angle is demonstrated. Three projectors provide views for the right 30 degrees, center 30 degrees and left 30 degrees, respectively. The holographic functional screen recomposes the light distribution, and the compound lenticular lens array is optimized to balance the aberrations and improve the display quality. In our experiment, the 3D light-field image with 96 perspectives provides the right geometric occlusion and smooth parallax in the viewing range. By rendering 3D images and synchronizing projectors, the dynamic light field display is obtained.
