Lenticular Display Multi-User Content Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Lenticular displays currently cannot effectively display different content to multiple users moving with respect to the display, as they are designed to show varying content only based on the angle of a single viewer, lacking the capability to adapt and present distinct content to multiple individuals simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing a processor, image sensor, and lenticular display that captures images of multiple users and determines their respective angles relative to the display, allowing the lenticular display to show different content to each user based on their individual angles, using metadata to customize the content displayed, such as censoring or varying video ratings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a lenticular display shows different content at different angles, then content variety is improved, but the ability to display different content to different users simultaneously deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The lenticular display dynamically adjusts which content is displayed to which user based on real-time detection of user positions and angles. The system continuously monitors user locations and modifies the displayed content accordingly, transforming a static display into a dynamic, adaptive system that can deliver different content to different users simultaneously based on their angular positions relative to the display.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the lenticular display detects multiple users and adjusts content accordingly, then user-specific content delivery is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that includes user detection mechanisms and content selection logic. This intermediary layer sits between the users and the lenticular display, automatically detecting user positions, determining appropriate content based on user identities and angles, and controlling what each user sees. This mediator handles the complexity of multi-user management, allowing the display itself to focus on its core function of angle-based content delivery.

AI summary
In one implementation, a method of operating a lenticular display is performed by a device including a processor, non-transitory memory, an image sensor, and a lenticular display. The method includes displaying, via the lenticular display, first content at a horizontal angle of a first user and second content, different than the first content, at a horizontal angle of a second user. The method further includes displaying, via the lenticular display, the first content at a second horizontal angle of the first user and the second content at a second horizontal angle of the second user.
