Light Field Display Modules for Holographic Performance Volumes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional performance venues limit viewer access to live performances due to factors like sold-out events, inconvenient timing, or distance, and existing reproductions on two-dimensional surfaces fail to replicate the atmosphere and excitement of live performances.
Innovation Solution
A light field (LF) display system that uses LF display modules to create a seamless display surface, projecting holographic content of performances, allowing viewers to perceive the performance as if they were present, and includes features like tracking systems and viewer profiling to enhance the experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional performance venues are used to view live performances, then viewers can experience the performance in real-time, but viewer access is limited due to sold-out events, inconvenient timing, or distance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a holographic copy of the live performance that can be viewed remotely. The performance is captured and transmitted as holographic data, allowing viewers to access the performance from different locations without needing to be physically present at the venue, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a holographic display system as an intermediary between the live performance and the viewer. This intermediary captures the performance and transmits it to remote locations, enabling viewers to access the performance conveniently from their preferred locations while maintaining the live experience
2Adaptability or versatility
If performances are reproduced on two-dimensional surfaces such as movie screens or television, then viewers can access the performance remotely, but the atmosphere and excitement of the live performance cannot be replicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional displays to three-dimensional holographic displays. This dimensional change allows the performance to be viewed in depth and from multiple angles, replicating the immersive atmosphere and excitement of a live performance while maintaining remote accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent provides different viewing experiences based on the viewer's location and preferences. The holographic system can adapt the performance presentation to match the viewer's position and create an immersive experience that feels authentic, thus maintaining reliability of the performance experience while enabling remote viewing
3Area of stationary object
If a seamless display surface is created using multiple LF display modules, then the effective display area is increased, but the complexity of the display system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the large display surface into multiple LF display modules that can be independently configured and assembled. This segmentation allows the system to achieve a large effective display area while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design, where each module can be standardized and easily integrated
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple LF display modules to form a seamless display surface. By merging the capabilities of individual modules, the system achieves a larger effective display area while the modules work together as an integrated system, managing complexity through coordinated operation of standardized components
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables viewers to experience live performances from any location within a venue, providing an immersive atmosphere similar to being present at the actual event, while also allowing for interactive elements and personalized content based on viewer profiles.
Implementation Method 1
The LF display modules display holographic content of a performance from the performance volume
Implementation Method 2
The plurality of ultrasonic speakers are configured to generate a haptic surface that coincides with at least a portion of the holographic content
Data Source
AI summary
A light filed (LF) display system for displaying holographic performance content (e.g., a live performance) to viewers in a venue. The LF display system in the venue includes LF display modules tiled together to form an array of LF modules. The array of LF modules create a performance volume (e.g., a stage) for displaying the performance content in the venue. The array of LF modules displays the performance content to viewers in viewing volumes. The LF display system can be included in a LF presentation network. The LF presentation network allows holographic performance content to be recorded at one location and displayed (concurrently or non-concurrently) at another location. The LF presentation network includes a network system to manage the digital rights of the holographic performance content.
