Procedure and device for producing high resolution 3-D images in a head-guided stereo display system

摘要

A head tracked stereo display system for generating virtual images over a wide range of viewer head movement, and for intermixing light from virtual objects and real objects in a natural arrangement. The system comprises a display device disposed within a base housing and a mirror coupled to rotate around the display device, such that the mirror transmits the stereo images to a viewer. A tracking system controls the angular position of the mirror to transmit the stereo images to the viewer as the viewer moves. To intermix the light from real and virtual objects, the image rendering system generates a z buffer for the real objects. The real objects are rendered with no color. A half silvered mirror is positioned to transmit the stereo images to the eyes of a viewer, and transmit light reflected from the real objects to the eyes of the viewer. An LCD array panel selectively blocks transmission of the light reflected from the real object. IMAGE
