Project Details

"This new cylindrical 3D display allows multiple viewers to see 3D images from 360 degrees of arc horizontally without special glasses. The display is based on ray-space and super-multiview concepts, so its images have smooth motion parallax with unlimited viewing distance." 
 
"Our technique uses a cylindrical parallax barrier and a one-dimensional light-source array constructed from semiconductor light sources such as LEDs aligned vertically. It is based on the parallax panoramagram. The light source array rotates along the inside of the cylindrical parallax barrier and the intensity of each light is modulated synchronously with the rotation."
