Patent number: 11553172Abstract: A precision multi-view (MV) display system can accurately and simultaneously display different content to different viewers over a wide field of view. The MV display system may include features that enable individual MV display devices to be easily and efficiently tiled to form a larger MV display. A graphical interface enables a user to graphically specify viewing zones and associate content that will be visible in those zones in a simple manner. A calibration procedure enables the specification of content at precise viewing locations.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Misapplied Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Albert Han Ng, Paul Henry Dietz, William Jerry Duncan, Matthew Steele Lathrop, David Steven Thompson

Publication number: 20060106535Abstract: A mapping system is movable over a terrain and operates to generate a map. The mapping system includes a geographical location unit generating location data, a timer generating time data, a pair of different interfaces for inputting flag data, such as a speech interface and a manual interface. The system also includes a processing unit connected to the geographical location unit and to the interfaces. The processing unit has a stored first delay time corresponding to the speech interface and having a stored second delay time corresponding to the manual interface. The second delay time is longer than the first delay time. The processing unit stores current time data and flag data in response to use of a selected one of the interfaces. The processing unit generates compensated time data as a function of the current time data and the delay time corresponding to the selected interface. The processing unit generates compensated location data as a function of the compensated time data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2004Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Jerry Duncan, Bruce Balentine, Bruce Newendorp, Mark Sommer, Wayne Smith, Robert Mayfield
