  • Patent number: 11938398
    Abstract: A light field (LF) display system implements a holographic video game. The LF display system includes an LF display assembly that displays holographic game content. The LF display system can also include a sensory feedback assembly that provides tactile feedback to users by projecting an ultrasonic wave, a tracking system that can track one or more body parts of a user, and a controller that executes a game application and generates display instructions for the LF display assembly. The LF display system can implement an interactive video game that tracks a body part of a player and provides both visual and haptic feedback to the player to depict an in-game interaction, such as an explosion or impact. The video game may be implemented as part of an LF gaming network.

  • Publication number: 20220277684
    Abstract: In modular video display systems, such as video wall systems, it is common to tile many separate display modules together to form a single display surface which has faint or unnoticeable seams. In such systems, the full resolution video signal is usually split into portions that correspond to the display tiles, and each portion of the video is shown on a different display tile. A uniform scan refresh method may be used for every tile, leading to the neighboring scan lines across some tile boundaries to be updated at different times. This effect, which may cause a temporal artifact for viewers of the video, can be greatly reduced by refreshing scan lines in alternate rows or columns of the display tiles in opposite directions, leading to scan lines across boundaries between tiles being updated at the same time.
