Observer tracking directional display

摘要

An observer tracking directional display comprises a spatial light modulator associated with a movable parallax optic. An observer tracker determines the position of an observer and controls the position of the optic by way of an electromechanical transducer and a mechanical transmission. The mechanical tracking arrangement has a plurality of stationary positions for the parallax optic relative to the spatial light modulator (SLM) and steps between these positions so as to optimize the viewing windows for the current position of the observer.
