Filed:

May 31, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/141649

Inventors:

Michael A. Vesely - Santa Cruz CA, US
Nancy L. Clemens - Santa Cruz CA, US

Assignee:

Infinite Z, Inc. - Campbell CA

International Classification:

G06T 15/10

US Classification:

345427, 345 11

Abstract:

The present invention multi-plane display system discloses a three dimension display system comprising at least two display surfaces, one of which displaying a three dimensional horizontal perspective images. Further, the display surfaces can have a curvilinear blending display section to merge the various images. The multi-plane display system can comprise various camera eyepoints, one for the horizontal perspective images, and optionally one for the curvilinear blending display surface.

Assignee:

Infinite Z, Inc. - Campbell CA

International Classification:

H04N 13/04
G09G 5/00

US Classification:

348 51, 345 11

Abstract:

The present invention discloses a horizontal perspective workstation comprising at least two display surfaces, one being substantially horizontal for displaying 3D horizontal perspective images, and one being substantially vertical for text or conventional images such as 2D images, or central perspective images. The horizontal display surface is typically positioned directly in front of the user, and at a height of about a desktop surface so that the user can have about a 45 angle looking. The vertical display surface is also positioned in front of the user and preferably behind and above the horizontal display surface.

Inventors:

Michael Vesely - Santa Cruz CA, US
Nancy Clemens - Santa Cruz CA, US

International Classification:

G06T015/00

US Classification:

345419000

Abstract:

Thus the present invention discloses a hands-on simulator system using horizontal perspective display. The hands-on simulator system comprises a real time electronic display that can project horizontal perspective images into the open space and a peripheral device that allow the end user to manipulate the images with hands or hand-held tools.

Appl. No.:

11/098681

Inventors:

Michael Vesely - Santa Cruz CA, US
Nancy Clemens - Santa Cruz CA, US

International Classification:

G02B027/22

US Classification:

359463000

Abstract:

The personal computer is perfectly suitable for horizontal perspective display, designed for the operation of one person, and well capable of rendering various horizontal perspective images to the viewer. Thus the present invention discloses a real time electronic display that can adjust the horizontal perspective images to accommodate the position of the viewer. By changing the displayed images to keep the eyepoint point of the horizontal perspective image in the same position as the viewer's eye point, the viewer's eye is always positioned at the proper viewing position to perceive the three dimensional illusion, thus minimizing viewer's discomfort and distortion. The display can accept manual input such as a computer mouse, trackball, joystick, tablet, etc. to re-position the horizontal perspective images. The display can also automatically re-position the images based on an input device automatically providing the viewer's viewpoint location.
