SBIR Phase I: Scanning Automultiscopic 3-D Visualization System

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发一个扫描自动三维可视化系统。通过以三个维度呈现信息，可以显著改进视觉信息收集和解释。目前的3-D系统的视野非常有限，或者需要带有头部跟踪的侵入性头盔来模拟环视，并且存在双目会聚和眼睛调节之间的不一致。物理光学公司(POC)提出了一种基于专有液晶扫描仪面板的新型3D显示器，该面板在宽视野内将大量透视图像按时间顺序投影到显示器前面的视野空间中。POC将通过模拟、分析、设计和实验来研究提出的概念的可行性，最终进行概念验证演示。建议的自动化三维可视化系统不需要眼镜或头部跟踪设备，将产生正确的三维图像，没有会聚和适应不一致，从而消除眼睛疲劳，最近被确定为潜在的眼睛损伤原因。本文提出的研究工作将产生一种新型的高性能三维可视化系统，它克服了现有立体显示技术的局限性。三维系统将用于多维科学和医疗数据的可视化，用于在合作三维环境中对政府和文职人员进行三维设计、培训和教育，以及用于远程呈现和远程操作

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a scanning automultiscopic 3-D visualization system. Visual information gathering and interpretation can be significantly improved by presenting information in three dimensions. Current 3-D systems have very limited field-of-view or require intrusive headgear with head tracking to emulate look-around, and suffer from inconsistencies between binocular convergence and eye accommodation. Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes a new class of 3-D displays based on proprietary liquid crystal scanner panels that time-sequentially project a large number of perspective images over a wide field-of-view into the view space in front of the display. POC will investigate the feasibility of the proposed concept through simulation, analysis, design, and experimentation, culminating in a proof-of-concept demonstration.The proposed automultiscopic 3-D visualization system, without glasses or head tracking equipment, will produce a correct 3-D image without convergence and accommodation inconsistencies, thus eliminating eye strain that has recently been identified as a potential cause of eye damage. The proposed research effort will result in a novel kind of high performance 3-D visualization system that overcomes the limitations of current stereoscopic display technologies. The 3-D system will be used for visualization of multidimensional scientific and medical data, for 3-D design, training and education of government and civilian personnel in a cooperative 3-D environment, and for telepresence and teleoperation
