  • Publication number: 20080180467
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ultra-resolution displays and methods for their operation. According to one embodiment of the present invention, an ultra-resolution display is provided where a common display screen is displaced from an array of display devices such that native frustums of respective ones of the display devices are expanded to define modified frustums that overlap on the common display screen. An image processor is programmed to execute an image blending algorithm that is configured to generate a blended image on the common display screen by altering input signals directed to one or more of the display devices. In this manner, the system can be operated to render an output image that is composed of pixels collectively rendered from the plural display devices. As a result, the resolution of the rendered video can exceed the video resolution that would be available from a single display.

  • Patent number: 7213229
    Abstract: A computer program, computer-readable media and data signal for providing a content-specific graphic user interface each includes a plurality of code segments for rendering a user interface having at least one graphic manipulation icon, said at least one graphic manipulation icon being operatively associated with at least one attribute of the graphic image for manipulation of said at least one attribute by a user. A method and system for using core functions from a host application to provide a content-specific graphical image manipulation interface is also disclosed.
