Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improving the utilization of an extended display system. Some aspects relate to an extended display generator having an input stream module to generate or receive input streams. Input streams may be generated locally (e.g., by a game engine) or remotely (e.g., from the internet). A function module of the generator provides functions that modify or extract information from the input streams. Then extended display generator applies a template to the input streams and function outputs, defining how such display content is presented to a user. A graphical user interface is used to specify which input streams, functions, and visual template should be used. The extended display shows the selected input stream(s) and the functional output(s) in a format defined by the visual template.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a display system comprises a set of reflective or semi-reflective elements. A display emits light such that one portion of the light travels a first path through the display system, and another portion travels a second path, which includes a reflection from a windshield. The two portions form virtual images that are simultaneously viewable in a headbox. In some embodiments, the source of light that forms the image is an ambient source, and the display system is at least in part a sunlight-driven display system. In some embodiments, virtual images have a monocular depth that is far from a viewer. In some embodiments, the virtual images are closer to a viewer, and a gesture camera captures information about gestures made by a viewer, said gestures modifying the virtual images or some property or dynamics of the vehicle.

In some embodiments, the elements lack a unique axis of rotational symmetry or are transversely periodic. Some embodiments include nonreciprocal, nonlinear, or anisotropic elements to form an image as part of a display system or an imaging system.

Abstract: A sample may be illuminated in such a way that light passes through the sample, reflects from a set of reflectors, passes through the sample again and travels to a light sensor. The reflectors may be staggered in depth beneath the sample, each reflector being at a different depth. Light reflecting from each reflector, respectively, may arrive at the light sensor during a different time interval than that in which light reflecting from other reflectors arrives—or may have a different phase than that of light reflecting from the other reflectors. The light sensor may separately measure light reflecting from each reflector, respectively. The reflectors may be extremely small, and the separate reflections from the different reflectors may be combined in a super-resolved image. The super-resolved image may have a spatial resolution that is better than that indicated by the diffraction limit.

Abstract: A sensor may measure light reflecting from a multi-layered object at different times. A digital time-domain signal may encode the measurements. Peaks in the signal may be identified. Each identified peak may correspond to a layer in the object. For each identified peak, a short time window may be selected, such that the time window includes a time at which the identified peak occurs. A discrete Fourier transform of that window of the signal may be computed. A frequency frame may be computed for each frequency in a set of frequencies in the transform. Kurtosis for each frequency frame may be computed. A set of high kurtosis frequency frames may be averaged, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, to produce a frequency image. Text characters that are printed on a layer of the object may be recognized in the frequency image, even though the layer is occluded.
