Embodiment Construction

[0319] overview

[0320] The present invention, in some of its embodiments, relates to methods and apparatus for displaying images, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to such methods and apparatus allowing viewing of three-dimensional images from a wide viewing angle. Some embodiments of the invention also allow viewing of two-dimensional images from a wide viewing angle.

[0321] The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to a computer-generated user interface, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a buoyant-in-the-air user interface.

[0322] In some embodiments, a viewer can walk around the stage and look at different sides of the scene projected on the stage, each from another perspective, just as when looking at the actual original scene. For example, a viewer walking around a hologram of a globe may see Europe when viewing the hologram from one point, America when viewing the hologram from another point, and so on. In some embodimen...

Abstract

Disclosed are methods and systems for displaying images, and for implementing volumetric user interfaces. One exemplary embodiment provides a system comprising: a light source; an image producing unit, which produces an image upon interaction with light approaching the image producing unit from the light source; an eyepiece; and a mirror, directing light from the image to a surface of the eyepiece, wherein the surface has a shape of a solid of revolution formed by revolving a planar curve at least 180 DEG around an axis of revolution. Another exemplary embodiment provides a method for implementing a floating-in-the-air user interface, including displaying a first image in a display space of a first floating-in-the-air display, inserting a real object into the display space of the first floating-in-the-air display, locating a location of the real object within the display space of the first floating-in-the-air display, locating the real object in the display space, and providing the location as input to the floating-in-the-air user interface.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 119(e), this application claims priority and benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 129,665, filed July 10, 2008, entitled "BROAD VIEWING ANGLE DISPLAYS," the contents of which are incorporated by reference at this. Background technique [0003] The present invention in some of its embodiments relates to methods and devices for displaying images, and more particularly but not exclusively to such methods and devices allowing images to be seen from wide viewing angles, eg from 360° around the image. [0004] The present invention, in some of its embodiments, relates to computerized user interface systems, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to user interface systems including floating-in-the-air displays. [0005] US Patent Application Publication No. 2006-0171008 describes a three-dimensional (3D) display system. The 3D display system includes a projector device for projecting an image on ...
