This paper presents the multi-user autostereoscopic 3D display system constructed and operated by the authors using the time-multiplexing approach. This prototype has three main advantages over the previous versions developed by the authors: its hardware was simplified as only one optical array is used to create viewing regions in space, a lenticular multiplexing screen is not necessary as images can be produced sequentially on a fast 120Hz LCD with full resolution, and the holographic projector was replaced with a high-frame-rate digital micromirror device (DMD) projector. The whole system in this prototype consists of four major parts: a 120Hz high-frame-rate DMD projector, a 49-element optical array, a 120Hz screen assembly, and a multi-user head tracker. The display images for the left/right eyes are produced alternatively on a 120Hz direct-view LCD and are synchronized with the output of the projector, which acts as a backlight of the LCD. The novel steering optics controlled by the multiuser head tracker system directs the projector output to regions referred to as exit pupils, which are located in the viewers’eyes. The display can be developed in the "hang-on-the-wall"form.

Define a designated eye position (DEP) for the 3D displays is a critical issue. It shows the system performance without content issue. We use luminance meter to capture these optical characteristic and discuss between one point measurement, two points measurement and three points measurement situation.

We present a novel head tracking system for stereoscopic displays that ensures the viewer has a high degree of movement. The tracker is capable of segmenting the viewer from background objects using their relative distance. A depth camera using TOF(Time-Of-Flight) is used to generate a key signal for eye tracking application. A method of the moving parallax barrier is also introduced to supplement a disadvantage of the fixed parallax barrier that provides observation at the specific locations.

Stereoscopic/autostereoscopic systems have been developed in order to express true 3D images, but have never had great success in the practical use. In order to apply 3D display to promising applications such as advertisements and games, we've developed a 42" 2D/3D switchable display. It has characteristics that don't require special glasses for 3D images, use multi-view technology for improving 3D viewing characteristics, and has a 2D/3D switching function to express dynamic 3D contents as well as conventional 2D contents.

Observers usually experience visual fatigue when they watch contents displayed on 3D display. There has been various research on visual fatigue incurred in stereoscopic displays that use 3D glasses, but relatively less studies have been done in the area of autostereoscopic displays. i3D system refers to interactive 3D system that makes it possible for users to interact with contents using their hands. Current research measured visual fatigue that users experience from i3D under various visual environments. We examined the effects of viewing distance, disparities and visual orientation on visual fatigue in i3D. The results indicated that visual fatigue decreased with longer distance and smaller disparity. Visual fatigue increased with angle when 3D fusion was unstable. In addition, there was an interaction effect between angle and distance in which visual fatigue increased with distance under stable 3D fusion but there was no difference in visual fatigue as a function of distance when 3D fusion was unstable. These results would be importantly used to develop autostereoscopic displays that minimize visual fatigue.

A natural 3D image is considered by many people to be next-step in evolution of displays. This paper introduces autostereoscopic 3D of 60-view number, which is made using slanted lenticular lens array and LCD of 15.1 inch diagonal size and 3200 by 2400 pixel numbers and presents the results of our prototype. Due to its large view number, smooth motion parallax is observed and the visual fatigue is reduced.

본 논문은 다시점을 갖는 무안경 3D 디스플레이 시스템에 관한 연구이다. 최근 안경식 디스플레이 시스템이 완성 단계에 도달하면서 무안경 3D 디스플레이에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 다양한 방법들이 제안되고 있지만 아직까지 무안경식 디스플레이 시스템은 많은 연구가 필요한 상황이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 무안경 3D 디스플레이 시스템은 기존의 패럴랙스 배리어 중 스텝 배리어에 편광자의 빛을 흡수하는 특성을 적용하여 깊이 역전 현상이 발생하는 영역을 제거하므로 관찰자는 더 매끄럽고 자연스러운 입체 영상을 볼 수 있다.

본 논문은 광학 격자 필름과 평행 렌즈를 이용하여 무안경 3D 디스플레이 시스템을 구현한 연구이다. 기존 패럴랙스 배리어 시스템에서는 시점에 따라 크로스토크가 발생하는 영역과 역 입체시 영역을 갖게 되는데 이는 시청자가 정확한 3D영상을 볼 수 없도록 한다. 이를 평행 렌즈를 이용하여 좌, 우안에 해당하는 영상을 평행하게 이동시켜 설계된 격자 필름의 위치에 맺힐 수 있게 하고 격자 필름으로 빛을 굴절시켜 각 눈에 해당하는 영상만 볼 수 있는 영역을 갖게 하였다. 제안하는 방법을 이용해 크로스토크를 회피하여 보다 정확한 3D영상을 볼 수 있도록 한다.

An advantage of parallax barrier displays is that they can also display 2D and 3D contents and can be automatically switched between the two types. But, as the viewer changes position, different views of the scene will be directed by the barrier to the visual system. Moving horizontally beyond a certain point will produce "image flipping" of the different views of the scene. These limitations make unavoidable the use of another autostereoscopic display solutions like eye tracking or increasing the number of views. In this paper, a method of the moving parallax barrier design is introduced to supplement a disadvantage of the fixed parallax barrier that provides observation at specific locations. For making the moving parallax barrier, the cross connector with 640 lines FPC is designed. A commercially available web camera is utilized to implement eye-tracking system and shows the experimental result.

Among the several types of 3D display methods the autostereoscopic method has an advantage that we can enjoy a 3D image without any additional device but the method has a disadvantage of a narrow viewing zone so that the moving viewer coannot see the 3D image continuously. This disadvantage can be overcome with the detectioni of viewer's positional movement by head tracking. In this paper we suggest a method of detecting the position of the moving viewer's two eyes by using images obtained through a color CCD camera, The suggested method consists of the preprocessing process and the eye-detection process. Through the experiment of applying the suggested method we were able to find the accurate two-eyes position for 78 images among 80 sample input images of 8 different men with the processing speed of 0.39 second/frame using a personal computer.
