In one implementation, a method of operating a lenticular display is performed by a device including a processor, non-transitory memory, and a lenticular display. The method includes capturing, from a first camera location in a physical environment, a first image of a user. The method includes capturing, from a second camera location in the physical environment, a second image of the user. The method includes transforming the first image and the second image by horizontally flipping the first image and the second image. The method includes displaying, on the lenticular display, the transformed first image at a display angle corresponding to a first eye location of the user and the transformed second image at a display angle corresponding to a second eye location of the user.

Emulating a mirror with a lenticular display

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

An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The display may include ray tracing circuitry that is configured to, using ray tracing, a three-dimensional image, and deflection measurements for the array of pixels, output a display calibration map that includes, for each pixel in the array of pixels, a corresponding location on a two-dimensional image. The display may also include pixel mapping circuitry configured to, using the display calibration map from the ray tracing circuitry, map the two-dimensional image to respective pixels on the array of pixels to obtain pixel data for the array of pixels.

Ray tracing in a display

In some implementations, a method is performed at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, a rendering system, and a display. The method includes determining a first rendering characteristic based on a first viewing angle of a first individual with respect to the display. The method includes determining a second rendering characteristic based on a second viewing angle of a second individual with respect to the display. The first rendering characteristic is different from the second rendering characteristic. The method includes generating, via the rendering system, first display content data according to the first rendering characteristic, and generating, via the rendering system, second display content data according to the second rendering characteristic. The first display content data is associated with the first viewing angle. The second display content data is associated with the second viewing angle.
