Publication number: 20210191321Abstract: A method of holographic projection. The method comprises projecting at least one calibration image using a first colour holographic channel and a second colour holographic channel. Each calibration image comprises at least one light spot. The method comprises performing the following steps for each calibration image in order to determine a plurality of displacements vectors at a respective plurality of different locations on the replay plane. A first step comprises projecting the calibration image onto the replay plane using a first colour holographic channel by displaying a first hologram on a first spatial light modulator and illuminating the first spatial light modulator with light of the first colour. A second step comprises projecting the calibration image onto the replay using a second colour holographic channel by displaying a second hologram on a second spatial light modulator and illuminating the second spatial light modulator with light of the second colour.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2020Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventors: Jamieson Christmas, Michal Wengierow
