3D Displays for Expressing Existence

Abstract

The popularization of three-dimensional (3D) display technologies has been boosted by the impacts of surprising or poignant experiences in entertainment applications such as attractions in amusement parks or movies in theaters. However, I believe that the next generation technologies will be those for achieving the intrinsic target of 3D displays, i.e. providing feel of existence in displayed images with high reality. In this paper, we introduce basics of vison as a basis of display technology and various 2D and 3D displays to express existence. Since the quantity of information in next generation 3D displays will be huge, an approach to reduce it using characteristics of human vision is shown.
