Embodiment Construction

[0043] One aspect of the present disclosure relates to an embodiment for directing energy from a fixed location along a series of energy propagation paths by deflecting energy from an energy source with an energy directing surface configured to change the direction of the energy propagation path Angular coordinates θ and One example of such an energy directing device is a metasurface. Metasurfaces can be used to create flat, compact, and reconfigurable systems capable of dynamically creating engineered energy wavefronts from incident energy wavefronts by spatially arranging nanoscattering elements with varying sizes and subwavelength periodicities. For example, in the optical domain, metasurfaces can contain multiple sites with subwavelength resolution that can be dynamically tuned for light wavelengths in the ultraviolet to infrared wavelength range to manipulate the phase, amplitude, and polarization of incident light. . Embodiments of these optical metasurfaces may utili...

Abstract

An energy directing system may include one or more energy sources and a plurality of energy directing surfaces configured to direct incident energy along a plurality of energy propagation paths therefrom. The plurality of energy directing surfaces are arranged such that the energy propagation paths from each energy directing surface are each defined by a four-dimensional coordinate, the four-dimensional coordinate comprising two spatial coordinates corresponding to a location of the respective energy directing surface and two angular coordinates defining the angular direction of the respective propagation path. Energy attribute data may be used to determine instructions for operating the one or more energy sources and the energy directing surfaces.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to energy directing systems, and in particular, to energy directing systems in which energy directing surfaces are arranged and configured to direct energy in a four-dimensional coordinate system. Background technique [0002] The dream of an interactive virtual world inside a "holodeck," popularized by Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, was first conceived in the early 20th century by writer Alexander Moszkowski, and has been a staple of science fiction and technology for nearly a century. A source of inspiration for innovation. However, no convincing implementation of this experience exists outside of literature, media, and the collective imagination of children and adults alike. The present application teaches systems and methods for rendering information from a 3D environment into a format that allows a 4D energy field projection system to output a 4D energy field modeled on a scene from the 3D environment.
