Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an optical scanning module, comprising a scanning mirror, wherein the scanning mirror is arranged to direct a first light signal coming from a single light source to a first telescope objective via a first optical path, and at least one second light signal coming from the single light source to at least one second optical path, to scan at different distances with different angular resolutions, wherein the first optical path is different than the second optical path, and the optical scanning module is arranged to receive a reflected version of the first light signal via the first telescope objective and the first optical path, and a reflected version of the at least one second light signal via the at least one second optical path.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed including techniques for calibrating a light field display having projector cells. Each of the of projector cells contains light emitting elements and a beam-steering element, and is configured such that an outgoing light from at least one of the light emitting elements exits the projector cell after passing through the beam-steering element in a first direction. Techniques disclosed include projecting a tracking beam onto a calibration spot on a viewer of the light field display; detecting, by at least one of light sensing elements (distributed relative to the light emitting elements), an incoming light of the tracking beam reflected from the calibration spot, where the incoming light enters the projector cell passes through the beam-steering element in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and adjusting the steering of the beam-steering element based on the detection of the incoming light.

Abstract: Some embodiments of an apparatus may include: a tracking module configured to track viewer movement adjustments; and a light field image display structure configured to display a light field image using the viewer movement adjustments. Some embodiments of a method may include: projecting a beam spot on a viewer of a light field display; determining an estimated location of the beam spot reflected off the viewer; detecting an actual location of the beam spot reflected off the viewer; and determining image correction parameters based on a comparison of the estimated location and the actual location of the beam spot reflected off the viewer.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for displaying a light field using a display device in which a plurality of internal light paths contribute to each respective output beam and in which each light path traverses at least one controllable-transparency pixel of the display. In example methods, a target light field is partitioned into a plurality of light field partitions that sum to the target light field. Each light field partition is associated with a subset of the internal light paths. Pixel values of the display device are selected to minimize a total error in each path's contribution to its corresponding light field partition. Methods described herein may be used to select pixel values in display devices that include a diffractive element, such as a diffraction grating.
