Publication number: 20060274270Abstract: Systems and methods for generating stereo images are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for generating stereo images includes a first display adapted to project a polarized first image along a viewing axis, a second display operatively positioned relative to the first display and adapted to project a polarized second image along the viewing axis, and a controller coupled to at least the first display and adapted to oscillate image projection between the first display and second display. The system in this embodiment further includes a first lens portion and a second lens portion, the first lens portion being polarized to the same state as the first display and the second lens portion being polarized to the same state as the second display.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2005Publication date: December 7, 2006Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David Kasik, Gary Bernard
