20090273662 | Systems and Methods for Calibrating a Hogel 3D Display - Methods and systems for calibrating a hogel display are disclosed including generating calibration hogel data corresponding to a calibration pattern; generating a hogel light field from the calibration hogel data; detecting the hogel light field; and determining calibration data by analyzing a set of hogel properties in response to detecting the hogel light field. The methods and systems may further include generating a calibrated hogel light field by generating calibrated hogel data using the calibration data. | 11-05-2009 |
20100156894 | Rendering 3D Data to Hogel Data - Methods and systems for rendering hogels, including receiving a set of 3D data at a node, the node comprising a graphics processing unit, storing at least a subset of the set of 3D data in a buffer, rendering a first hogel view from the subset of 3D data using the graphics processing unit, and rendering a second hogel view by accessing the stored subset of 3D data using the graphics processing unit, where the rendering of the second hogel view is performed substantially in series to the rendering of the first hogel view. | 06-24-2010 |
20100156895 | Processing Pre-recorded Hogel Data - Methods and systems for rendering hogels, including causing one or more nodes to each load a subset of a hogel data set into a buffer, the one or more nodes being configured to each store the corresponding subset of the hogel data set, distributing a next hogel data set command to the one or more nodes, causing the buffer to be processed in response to the next hogel data set command, and issuing a hogel data set complete command in response to determining that the one or more nodes each return a hogel data subset complete command. | 06-24-2010 |
20100220098 | Converting 3D Data to Hogel Data - Methods and systems for rendering hogels, including notifying one or more rendering nodes that all rendering is complete in response to determining that each of the one or more rendering nodes completes rendering of corresponding one or more subsets of hogel data from 3D data, the rendering nodes being configured to convert the 3D data to the one or more subsets of hogel data. | 09-02-2010 |
20100277928 | Optics Support Structures - An apparatus is disclosed that includes a transparent support structure having an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface is configured to be supported by one or more outer walls of a display module. The upper surface is configured to support imaging optics associated with the display module. The upper surface coincides with an imaging plane associated with the display module. The thickness of the transparent support structure is selected to permit light entering the lower surface proximate to the one or more outer walls to pass through to the upper surface and reach the outer edge of the one or more outer walls without being substantially blocked. | 11-04-2010 |
20110012895 | Processing Hogel Data - Methods and systems for processing hogel data including providing a set of hogel data, providing one or more properties of a hogel light modulator, and processing the set of hogel data according to the one or more properties of the hogel display. | 01-20-2011 |
20110038163 | Optics Structures with Offset Components - A display module having an optical component stack array, where each optical component stack within the optical component stack array comprises a delivery device and a light delivery system, where the delivery device is offset by a first amount from an optical axis associated with the optical component stack, and where the light delivery system is offset by a second amount from the optical axis. | 02-17-2011 |
20110038167 | Optics Support Structures with Tapered Walls - A display module having one or more outer walls configured to house an array of optical component stacks, where the one or more outer walls are configured to support a transparent support structure spanning the array of optical component stacks, and where an upper portion of the one or more outer walls in contact with the transparent support structure is tapered. | 02-17-2011 |
20120092232 | Sending Video Data to Multiple Light Modulators - Methods and systems for sending video data, including generating video data comprising video elements using a graphics processor, the video data being configured to be displayed on multiple displays, and encoding metadata into the video elements, the metadata comprising information indicating a correspondence between the video data and the multiple displays. | 04-19-2012 |
