  • Publication number: 20120140182
    Abstract: An autostereoscopic projection arrangement, comprising at least one projector and at least one filter array, in which arrangement bits of partial information from views of a scene or object are projected by the projector/projectors onto a projection screen, where these bits of partial information are rendered on image rendering elements and, having passed one or several of the filter arrays are made visible to at least one observer, and in which, as regards the propagation direction of the bits of partial information, the image rendering elements correspond with correlated filter elements in such a way that an observer will see predominantly bits of partial information from a first selection of views with one eye and predominantly bits of partial information from a second selection of views with the other eye, and thus will have a spatial impression.

  • Patent number: 8169381
    Abstract: The invention relates to arrangements for spatial display, and in particular to such arrangements that, by means of wavelength or gray level filter arrays, present an image visible in three dimensions to one or several observers without the use of auxiliary aids such as glasses. In such arrangements, an increased brightness of the 3D display is achieved by means of the arrangement of transparent filters on the filter array according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20120081366
    Abstract: An assembly for two or three dimensional image representation having an image reproduction unit, a first scattering layer located behind the image reproduction unit in the line of vision of a viewer, a filter array located behind the image reproduction unit and the first scattering layer in the line of vision of a viewer, and a second scattering layer located in front of and directly on the image reproduction unit in the line of vision of the viewer. The first scattering layer has a plurality of image elements, which in a predetermined allocation represent information from one or more views of a scene, object or text and can be switched back and forth between a transparent condition and a scattering condition.

  • Patent number: 8142020
    Abstract: The invention relates to an autostereoscopic projection arrangement, comprising at least one projector (4) and at least one filter array (F1, F2), which has a multitude of filter elements arranged in columns and rows, in which arrangement bits of partial information from views of a scene or object are projected by the projector/the projectors (4) onto a projection screen (3), where these bits of partial information are rendered on image rendering elements and, having passed one or several of the filter arrays (F1, F2), are made visible to at least one observer (5), and in which, as regards the propagation direction of the bits of partial information, the image rendering elements correspond with correlated filter elements in such a way that an observer (5) will see predominantly bits of partial information from a first selection of views with one eye and predominantly bits of partial information from a second selection of views with the other eye, and thus will have a spatial impression.

  • Publication number: 20100217458
    Abstract: An interactive information system is indicated for an aircraft to provide passengers with information, which access both an onboard data storage device and an off-board data storage device. A computer uses the onboard and off-board data to compute informative data, which are then visualized to the passenger. The passenger can interactively determine the form and type of data generation and preparation at any time.

  • Publication number: 20080297670
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly for the selective three-dimensional or two-dimensional representation of images. The inventive assembly comprises an image reproduction unit (1) with a plurality of image elements, which in a predetermined allocation represent information from one or more views of a scene, object or text, a filter array (2) that is located behind the image reproduction unit (1) in the line of vision (B) of an observer, a first scattering layer (3) that is located behind the image reproduction unit (1) and in front of the filter array (2) in the line of vision of the observer, said layer being switched back and forth between a transparent condition and a scattering condition and a second scattering layer (4) that is located in front of the image reproduction unit (1) in the line of vision (B) of the observer and lies directly on said unit, the layer corresponding preferably to an anti-glare matt layer.
