Enhancing layered 3D displays with a lens

We augment layered three-dimensional (3D) displays using a lens placed in front of or between attenuation layers. The lens, or similar optical element, improves the angular resolution of the system and enables translation of the displayed scene from a near-field image to a far-field projection. We analyze the relation between angular resolution (scene depth) and the number of layers and characterize the phase-space trade-offs between spatial and angular frequency components. We also introduce an algorithm for determining the layers of the display, which significantly reduces the computational requirements. The method is demonstrated on a standard 4D light field scene.

Lens-Enhanced Layered 3D Displays

We augment layered 3D displays using optical elements placed in front of or in between attenuation layers, which improves angular resolution of the display. We also significantly reduce memory requirements for layer calculations.
