MULTI-PERSPECTIVE THREE-DIMENSIONAL FLOATING IMAGE DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17824210 titled 'MULTI-PERSPECTIVE THREE-DIMENSIONAL FLOATING IMAGE DISPLAY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for creating a floating 3D image display inside a vehicle for multiple passengers.

  • The system includes a display that projects a multiplexed hologram with multiple 3D holographic images.
  • Each passenger has a beam splitter associated with them, which receives one of the holographic images from the display.
  • The beam splitter reflects the holographic image towards the passenger, creating the perception of a floating 3D image.
  • All passengers perceive the 3D holographic images at a central location within the vehicle.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system for generating a centrally located floating three-dimensional image display for a plurality of passengers positioned within a vehicle includes a display adapted to project a multiplexed hologram comprising a plurality of three-dimensional holographic images, and a plurality of beam splitters, one beam splitter individually associated with each one of the plurality of passengers, each beam splitter adapted to receive one of the plurality of holographic images from the display and to reflect the one of the plurality of holographic images to the associated one of the plurality of passengers, wherein, each of the plurality of passengers perceives one of the plurality of three-dimensional holographic images floating at a central location within the vehicle.
