Abstract
A stereoscopic display system includes an image display panel, viewpoint position sensors, and a means to create first or left and second or right stereoscopic images corrected for parallax. This allows for multiple viewpoints to perceive the viewed 3D stereoscopic image as approximately fixed in space. In one embodiment, the first and second images may be perceived as a 3D stereoscopic image by applying shutter glasses. In another embodiment, the first and second images may be perceived as a 3D auto stereoscopic image by applying configurable louvers or light guiding layers. In this embodiment, the display system utilizes information from the position sensors to optimize electronically configurable louvers. This allows for large displays to be seen from multiple viewpoints. The virtual 3D stereoscopic object images, being virtually fixed in space may be interacted with by the user or users in much the same way 2D objects are manipulated by applying a touch screen. This allows for input systems such as virtual keyboards and remote controllers. The methods described may be applied in other ways, including, but not limited to gaming systems, 3D virtual caves, and simulators.
