  • Publication number: 20150007082
    Abstract: A cabin management system (CMS) for an aircraft is provided. The CMS comprises a functional unit, a control unit for controlling the functional unit, and a display arrangement for displaying a three-dimensional virtual scenario. The display arrangement comprises a display element and a position detection unit for detecting the position of an input element for interacting with the three-dimensional virtual scenario. The display element is for displaying at least one three-dimensional virtual object. The position detection unit is interconnected with the control unit as to transmit the position of the input element to the control unit. The control unit compares the position of the input element in the three-dimensional virtual scenario with the virtual position of the three-dimensional virtual object. The control unit provides a control command to the CMS which control command is assigned to a status of a three-dimensional virtual object which is selected by the input element.

  • Publication number: 20140176910
    Abstract: An autostereoscopic projection screen including a projection area and a control, wherein the projection area includes micromirrors, wherein the control is adapted to adjust orientation of the micromirrors such that the micromirrors can reflect light emitted by an image source into directions creating an image in each direction at a viewing distance such that each image can only be seen by one eye of a viewer located in said direction at said viewing distance, and wherein two images are created at a first viewing distance and spaced apart such that a viewer in the first viewing distance can see one of the two images with a first eye only and the other of the two images with a second eye only, wherein the viewer has the impression of seeing the two images simultaneously. The invention further relates to a method and a system for autostereoscopic projection.
