July 2008: 3-D Display Development

New Approach to Electro-Holography Opens Opportunity for Mainstream 3-D

While there have been impressive developments in 3-D display technology in the past decade, the remaining visual conflicts between natural viewing and 3-D stereo visualization have prevented 3-D displays from becoming a universal consumer product. Electro-holographic displays hold the promise to overcome those challeneges. This article details a new approach to electro-holography.

Consequences of Incorrect Focus Cues in Stereo Displays

Conventional stereo displays produce images in which focus cues -- blur and accommodation -- are inconsistent with the simulated depth. This article describes new display techniques that have been developed that allow the presentation of nearly correct focus. These techniques makes stereo vision faster and more accurate when focus cues are mostly consistent with simulated depth; furthermore, viewers experience less fatigue when focus cues are correct or nearly correct.

An Updateable Holographic 3-D Display Based on Photorefractive Polymers

Rewritable holography has the advantage of not being viewpoint-dependent, but to date has not been able to show moving images. This article will update the latest developments in this area.
