MEDIATED REALITY DISPLAY SYSTEM IMPROVING LENSES, WINDOWS AND SCREENS

摘要

New optic control systems are provided that manage user or environmental factors impacting viewing experiences. In some aspects of the invention, a variably, directionally shadable screen and actuating system is provided, which prevents and limits problematic glare for an observation point. In other aspects of the invention, a matrix of specialized pixels creates variably-directed light from a plurality of angle-directable, shiftable sources, which aids in creating virtual, 3-D objects of greater realism than conventional 3-D imaging methods and aid in reducing the appearance of distracting interceding objects (e.g., finger blocking a touch screen). In these aspects, existing images and objects viewed through a screen may be enhanced and overlaid with effects, and shifted in perspective, and demonstrative information related to images and objects and an environment. In other aspects of the invention, driving enhancement, and semi-autonomous driving systems and displays are provided.

主权项

1. A system for enhancing observable images comprising:
hardware capable of defining observation points or regions; and hardware capable of shading any of several areas of a screen to shade or intercept at least some light that would otherwise reach said observation point(s) or region(s), which light transcends a threshold limit of luminance that would otherwise occur at said observation point(s) or region(s), which threshold limit is based on environmental light information, while leaving other light passing through the screen unshaded or less shaded by shading or not shading at least one of several areas of a screen, wherein the system also may provide virtual objects using shifted reality and augmented reality hardware.
