Integral imaging 3D display with enhanced depth range using slit mirror array and dual display systems

초록

This paper proposes a method to extend the depth range of integral imaging systems by representing three-dimensional (3D) images in both virtual-real and real-real forms. The approach combines two integral imaging systems using a transmission-type retroreflector and a beam splitter (BS). The transmission-type retroreflector relays the integrated images from one display to form a real full-color 3D aerial images while preserving the resolution at extended depths. The BS combines the second integral imaging system across various depth ranges, providing additional real or virtual 3D images. The proposed method enhances the applicability of integral imaging systems in mixed-reality environments without requiring complex equipment.
