Project Details

"In this reality-enhanced autostereoscopic 3D workbench, viewers without special glasses can perceive 3D images within their reach with little sense of incongruality. A real image is presented in the middle of the workspace; artificial parallax is narrowed to display 3D objects without interfering with normal motion. Viewers can manipulate virtual objects in the 3D workspace directly, with their own hands." 
 
Using a mechanism of intervening Fresnel lenses and filters, light from the display device is reconverged within the workspace and with respect to the viewer's orientation to present stereoscopic viewing for the user. (Figure 2 of entry.)
