An electronic device may include a stereoscopic display with a plurality of lenticular lenses that extend across the length of the display. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may have different viewing zones that account for horizontal parallax as a viewer moves horizontally relative to the display. The display may be dimmed globally, blurred, and/or composited with a default image based on the detected vertical position of the viewer. The display may render content that compensates for the real-time vertical positions of multiple viewers.

Displays with viewer tracking for vertical parallax correction

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that present a view of a device user's face portion, that would otherwise be blocked by an electronic device positioned in front of the face, on an outward-facing display of the user's device. The view of the user's face portion may be configured to enable observers to see the user's eyes and facial expressions as if they were seeing through a clear device at the user's actual eyes and facial expressions. Various techniques are used to provide views of the user's face that are realistic, that show the user's current facial appearance, and/or that present the face portion with 3D spatial accuracy, e.g., each eye appearing to be in its actual 3D position. Some implementations combine live data with previously-obtained data, e.g., combining live data with enrollment data.
