Abstract:

Multi-view autostereoscopic display is expected to be a major 3D display technology in the future. It is a 3D display with multiview, multiple viewing zones, highresolution and vivid display effect, without using any auxiliary observation equipment. The design principle of this multiprojectors autostereoscopic 3D display system, together with the details of its hardware/software architecture is presented. A prototype is built based upon multiprojector and the horizontal optical anisotropic display structure. An automatic calibration system is developed for improving the calibration accuracy and avoiding the tedious calibration process caused by the large number of projectors at the same time. Experimental results show that the system can offer the audience a realistic 3D visual experience.
