Autostereoscopic Holographic Display With Passenger Eye Tracking

The patent replaces traditional mechanical display systems (screens, monitors, beamsplitters) with a holographic display system that uses light field modulation and beam steering. This substitution enables three-dimensional floating images that can be dynamically positioned and directed to passengers' eyes without mechanical re-adjustment, resolving the contradiction between adaptability to position variations and ease of viewing.

The patent transitions from two-dimensional screen displays to three-dimensional holographic images. By encoding spatial light modulation and using beam steering to direct light fields, the system creates floating three-dimensional images that appear at various depths and positions, providing both central location and adaptability to passenger positions without requiring constant mechanical re-adjustment.

The patent replaces mechanical beamsplitters with a holographic display system that uses spatial light modulators and beam steering devices. This substitution eliminates the need for constant mechanical re-adjustment of beamsplitters, as the holographic system can dynamically encode and direct light fields to accommodate passenger position variations through computational control rather than mechanical movement.

The patent implements a dynamic holographic display system that can adapt to passenger position variations in real-time. The system uses computational algorithms to calculate and encode holographic images that are dynamically directed to the passenger's eyes, eliminating the need for constant mechanical re-adjustment and reducing time loss associated with re-adjustment operations.

The patent integrates multiple functions into a unified holographic display system. The spatial light modulator handles both image encoding and beam steering, while the compute engine performs multiple calculations for holographic generation. This multi-functionality approach reduces the need for separate dedicated components, thereby managing system complexity while maintaining the ability to provide three-dimensional floating images.

The patent introduces a compute engine as an intermediary that bridges the gap between the display hardware and the desired holographic output. The compute engine calculates and encodes holographic images, managing the complexity of coordinating multiple components. This intermediary layer simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing the computational tasks and enabling more flexible integration of hardware components.
