  • Publication number: 20110285828
    Abstract: A system and method that uses 3D technology to provide multiple character viewpoints in shows and movies. An image source module provides multiple series of images. A processor module connected to the image source module receives the multiple series of images provided by the image source module to create multiple series of images each representing a different character's viewpoint. A single display module connected to the processor module to display the multiple series of images representing different character's viewpoints. A viewer restricted to viewing a single series of images representing one character's viewpoint from the multiple series of images displayed by the single display module.

  • Publication number: 20110285820
    Abstract: A method and system using 3D technology provides secure data viewing on a display. Secure data viewing is enable by having an image source module provide images to a processor module. The processor module receives the images provided by the image source module to create multiple series of images that interfere with each other resulting in an unreadable series of images displayed on a display module. An authorized viewer is able to view a readable series of images from the multiple interfering series of images displayed by the display module.

  • Publication number: 20110285699
    Abstract: A system and method of using 3D technology wherein multiple series of images are displayed on a single display module. A group of viewers can select a single series of images to view from the multiple series of images displayed independent of other groups of viewers. One technique uses temporal separation to display multiple series of images, and a viewer uses eyewear to restrict viewing to one series of images of the multiple series of images displayed. An alternate technique uses spatial separation to display multiple series of images, and the lateral position of the viewer determines the one series of images viewed from the multiple series of images displayed.

  • Publication number: 20110286093
    Abstract: A group of viewers use eyewear to restrict viewing to a single series of images from the multiple series of images displayed independent of other groups of viewers. The eyewear may use any of the following techniques to restrict viewing to a single series of images; active shutter, polarization, wavelength shifting, or anaglyphic. Both lens of the eyewear have the same properties restricting both eyes to see the appropriate series of images from multiple series of images.

  • Patent number: 7119266
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for electronically displaying music scores use a music object file format to store and display music scores. A music score file is translated into a music object file. The music object file includes music data structures that correspond to notation objects that represent music symbols of a music score. The measure is the fundamental grouping unit. The music data structures are processed to form a page image that includes the notation objects of the music symbols to be displayed. An annotation is input to a touch sensitive display using one's finger or a stylus and displayed overlaying the displayed music score. Modifications to a displayed music score include transposing, resizing, expanding, and marking measures.
