Patent number: 10750101Abstract: A single pixel of a video display can display respective individual pixels of multiple views. In other words, a video display can include more views for an autostereoscopic image than the physical pixels of the video display would ordinarily support. The physical pixel is time-multiplexed in that the physical pixel displays a pixel of one view for a given time interval and a view multiplexer deflects the light from the physical pixel by a predetermined angle to make the pixel appear in a location corresponding to the pixel of the view. In another time interval, the physical pixel displays a pixel of a different view and the view multiplexer deflects light from the physical pixel by a different predetermined angle to make the pixel appear in a location corresponding to the pixel of the different view.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2016Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: SOLIDDD CORP.Inventors: Richard A.

Patent number: 9875526Abstract: A device displays one of multiple views of a three-dimensional image and changes the particular view displayed in response to physical movement of the device. Each of the multiple two-dimensional views of a three-dimensional image is associated with orientations or ranges of orientations of the device. The device displays the one of the views associated with the current orientation of the device. As the device is moved from one orientation to another, the device displays the view associated with the current orientation in place of the view associated with the former orientation. The orientation can be angular orientation about a vertical axis or horizontal axis, or both axes.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2014Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: SOLIDDD CORP.Inventor: Neal Weinstock

Publication number: 20170104982Abstract: A method and system that uses multiple views of a single image to create a three dimensional scene having a projected depth of projection. The projected depth of projection may be controlled by choosing views having a particular number of views separating them. As a user moves positions, the views are changed to display views associated with the new position of the user. The new views have the same number of views separating them to maintain a consistent depth of projection.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2015Publication date: April 13, 2017Inventor: Neal Weinstock

Publication number: 20150271467Abstract: A single-lens camera captures a two-dimensional image and, nearly contemporaneously, manipulates focus of the camera to provide information regarding the distance from the camera of objects shown in the image. With this distance information, the camera synthesizes multiple views of the image to produce a three-dimensional view of the image. The camera can select a number of points of interest and engage an autofocus function to determine a focal length for which the point of interest is in particularly good focus or can capture a number of additional images at various focal lengths and identify portions of the additional images that are in relatively sharp focus. The distance estimates can be improved by identifying elements in the original image that are co-located with electronic beacons whose relative locations are known to the camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2014Publication date: September 24, 2015Inventor: Neal Weinstock
