DEVICE AND METHOD TO CALIBRATE PARALLAX OPTICAL ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17672935 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD TO CALIBRATE PARALLAX OPTICAL ELEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a display that uses a parallax optical element to provide a 3D viewing experience from multiple viewpoints. The device includes an input interface for user calibration of the optical element and a processor to adjust its parameters based on the user input.

  • The electronic device includes a display and a parallax optical element.
  • The parallax optical element provides light corresponding to the image to multiple viewpoints.
  • The device has an input interface for user calibration of the optical element.
  • The user observes a pattern image from a reference viewpoint to calibrate the optical element.
  • The processor renders a calibration pattern towards the reference viewpoint.
  • The processor adjusts the pitch, slanted angle, and position offset parameters of the optical element based on user input.
  • The adjusted pattern image is re-rendered and displayed on the screen.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • 3D displays for entertainment purposes, such as gaming or movie watching.
  • Medical imaging devices that provide 3D visualization for diagnostic purposes.
  • Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets for immersive experiences.
  • Automotive displays that enhance the driver's perception of depth and distance.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a simplified and user-friendly calibration process for the parallax optical element.
  • Enables accurate adjustment of the optical element's parameters based on user input.
  • Enhances the viewing experience by providing a more realistic and immersive 3D effect.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience with a more realistic and immersive 3D viewing.
  • Simplified calibration process for the parallax optical element.
  • Accurate adjustment of the optical element's parameters for optimal 3D effect.
  • Wide range of potential applications in entertainment, medical, VR/AR, and automotive industries.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is an electronic device including a display to output an image, a parallax optical element configured to provide light corresponding to the image to a plurality of viewpoints, an input interface configured to receive an input to calibrate the parallax optical element by a user who observes a pattern image from a reference viewpoint among the plurality of viewpoints, and a processor configured to output the pattern image generated by rendering a calibration pattern toward the reference viewpoint, adjust at least one of a pitch parameter, a slanted angle parameter, and a position offset parameter of the parallax optical element based on the input, and output, by the display, the pattern image adjusted by re-rendering the calibration pattern based on an adjusted parameter.
