Development of all-around 360 degree display that can be viewed from any direction

摘要

The authors describe a 360 degree viewing display that can be viewed from any direction. This new viewing system has an illumination screen and a rotating table. The screen of a monitor rotates at a uniform speed. Then an observer can view a monitor screen at any position surrounding the round table. But the solid of revolution is formed when the image screen is rotated. Hence the angle of view is controlled by a slit in order that the screen faces an observer and he can view an only 2D image on the screen without a 3D solid image. In this paper, we also describe a geometrical analysis of the 360 degree viewing display.
