  • Personal electronic device with a display system
    Patent number: 10019849
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interacting with a display system using a personal electronic device (PED). The display system may establish communication with and receive user input from the PED. The display system may use the received user input to generate and/or update content displayed on a display of the display system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 29, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 10, 2018
    Assignee: zSpace, Inc.
    Inventors: Arthur L. Berman, Clifford S. Champion, David A. Chavez, Francisco Lopez-Fresquet, Jonathan J. Hosenpud, Robert D. Kalnins, Alexandre R. Lelievre, Christopher W. Sherman, Jerome C. Tu, Kevin S. Yamada, Chun Wun Yeung

  • Stereoscopic display system using light field type data
    Patent number: 9848184
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a head tracked stereoscopic display system that uses light field type data may include receiving light field type data corresponding to a scene. The stereoscopic display system may track a user's head. Using the received light field type data and the head tracking, the system may generate three dimensional (3D) virtual content that corresponds to a virtual representation of the scene. The stereoscopic display system may then present the 3D virtual content to a user. The stereoscopic display system may present a left eye perspective image and a right eye perspective image of the scene to the user based on the position and orientation of the user's head. The images presented to the user may be updated based on a change in the position or the orientation of the user's head or based on receiving user input.

  • Virtual plane in a stylus based stereoscopic display system
    Patent number: 9703400
    Abstract: Virtual plane and use in a stylus based three dimensional (3D) stereoscopic display system. A virtual plane may be displayed in a virtual 3D space on a display of the 3D stereoscopic display system. The virtual plane may extend from a stylus of the 3D stereoscopic display system. Content may be generated in response to a geometric relationship of the virtual plane with at least one virtual object in the virtual 3D space. The generated content may indicate one or more attributes of the at least one virtual object. The content may be presented via the 3D stereoscopic display system.
