ICT Project <strong>3D</strong> VIVANT– Deliverable 6.4 Contract no.: 248420 <strong>Display</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>3D</strong> <strong>Holoscopic</strong> Content on Auto-stereoscopic <strong>Display</strong> auto-stereoscopic display was designed to <strong>of</strong>fer lenticular lens design creating a variety <strong>of</strong> distinct <strong>3D</strong> views. The <strong>3D</strong> Auto-stereoscopic display has an embedded hardware that accepts 2D-plus-depth format and renders 9 views to enable multiple viewers to see <strong>3D</strong> images at any one time. The display player does not support 9-views <strong>content</strong> as input. However, given that the <strong>3D</strong> <strong>Holoscopic</strong> <strong>content</strong> is recorded as a single 2D data, then only the 2D input is used. Furthermore it is necessary to acquire the various parameter <strong>of</strong> the lenticular sheet used by the Philips including the slanting angle. Three important parameters namely, the focal length and pitch <strong>of</strong> each lenslet and the slanting angle <strong>of</strong> the lenticular sheet are required by the s<strong>of</strong>tware developed at Brunel University to computer generate <strong>3D</strong> <strong>Holoscopic</strong> images for the Philips display. Unfortunately it was difficult to acquire this information from Philips. So we have adapted the information on an earlier version published by Philips in 1999 for a 7 views <strong>3D</strong> LCD display. A s<strong>of</strong>tware tool has been developed to map the pixels <strong>of</strong> the 2D intensity distribution <strong>of</strong> a <strong>3D</strong> holoscopic image to fit into a slanted lenticular structure <strong>of</strong> the Philips display. Unfortunately this [rocedure did not provide satisfactory results due to (i) adapting the lenticular optical characteristics from previous development is not accurate enough and may have caused some <strong>of</strong> the problems; (ii) Missing information about the lenticular sheet such as the focal length and pitch <strong>of</strong> each lenslet; (iii) The display does not accept multiple inputs. Due to the fact that the auto-stereoscopic Philips display has been discontinued and no longer commercially available, it was not possible to get access to the necessary information to allow accurate mapping <strong>of</strong> the <strong>3D</strong> holoscopic image onto the display. To solve this problem, the Brunel team contacted a number <strong>of</strong> <strong>3D</strong> auto-stereoscopic diplay manufactures. Alioscopy <strong>3D</strong> Auto-Stereoscopic display is one <strong>of</strong> the systems studied and experimented with as an example <strong>of</strong> State <strong>of</strong> the art <strong>3D</strong> Auto-Stereoscopic <strong>Display</strong> to ensure the <strong>3D</strong>VIVANT <strong>content</strong>s (<strong>Holoscopic</strong> <strong>content</strong>) can be replayed on the Alioscopy <strong>3D</strong> <strong>Display</strong>. 4.1 ALIOSCOPY <strong>3D</strong> AUTO-STEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY The 42-inch <strong>3D</strong> Auto-stereoscopic display is designed to <strong>of</strong>fer lenticular lens design creating 8 <strong>of</strong> distinct auto-Stereoscopic views. The <strong>3D</strong> Auto-stereoscopic display has a play-back s<strong>of</strong>tware which accepts Mixed-Content and Mixed-<strong>content</strong> can be generated using Alioscopy Mix & <strong>Display</strong> Assistant s<strong>of</strong>tware that accepts images from 8 cameras and then it renders 8 images into a single interlaced-image as shown in Figure 12. 12
