International Classification:
G03B 2114
US Classification:
353 94
Abstract:
An optical projection system is disclosed. The optical projection system comprises a projection screen and a plurality of viewing stations. Each viewing station includes a beamsplitter, a projector including a lens, wherein the projector is directed at the beamsplitter, and a mechanical apparatus. The mechanical apparatus is adapted to optimize a quality of an image on the projection screen as seen by an observer looking at the beamsplitter. Projectors at different viewing stations are capable of projecting different images onto the projection screen.
System And Method For 3D Optical Projection
US Patent:
2008001, Jan 24, 2008
Filed:
Jul 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/490942
Inventors:
Thomas Hennes - New York NY, US
International Classification:
G03B 21/00
US Classification:
353 7
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for three-dimensionally projecting multiple images onto a centrally-located screen whereby viewers positioned circumferentially about the screen are each exposed to different images. The system comprising a projection screen and a plurality of viewing stations. Each viewing station includes a beamsplitter and first and second projectors each having a lens. The projectors are mounted such that their respective lenses are spaced a distance apart equal to an inter-ocular spacing and are configured to project images onto the projection screen. A mechanical apparatus is provided to optimize a quality of an image on the projection screen as seen by an observer looking at the beamsplitter.
