摘要:
A mobile telephony system comprising a calling party mobile telephone with an imaging system and a display. The imaging system is operable to capture an image of the calling party. The calling party mobile telephone sends an image of the calling party to a called party mobile telephone over a wireless link, and the called party mobile telephone locally generates a holographic reconstruction of the calling party using a holographic display that is encoded with a hologram. An advantage is that a mobile telephone call may be held in which one party views a holographic reconstruction of the other party.

This disclosure relates to methods, apparatus, and computer program code for the holographic display of images. We describe a method of displaying an image holographically. The method includes: dividing the image into a plurality of spatial tiles; and displaying, for each tile in rapid succession, at least one hologram to reproduce an image of the tile, to give the impression of the plurality of tiles together; and wherein the method also includes controlling a shutter spatial light modulator (SLM) in a replay field of the holograms such that when each tile is displayed light for the others of the plurality of tiles is substantially blocked.
摘要:
Holographic display device comprising a first EASLM and a second EASLM, the pair permitting independent modification of phase and amplitude, in which holographic reconstruction is visible through one or more virtual observer windows. An advantage is that an observer may view a holographic reconstruction through one or more virtual observer windows from a device housing a pair of EASLMs which permit independent modification of phase and amplitude.

We describe a method of generating data for displaying an image defined by a plurality of holographically generated subframes for display sequentially in time to give the impression of said image, the method including: receiving data for said image for display; determining holographic data for a said subframe from target image data at a first spatial resolution derived from said received data; converting said holographic data to image subframe data for display to generate a said holographic subframe, said image subframe data having a second spatial resolution lower than said first spatial resolution; generating reconstructed image data at said first spatial resolution from said image subframe data, said reconstructed image data representing said displayed holographic subframe; adjusting said target image data using said reconstructed image data; and determining holographic data and image subframe data for a subsequent said subframe using said adjusted image data.
摘要:
A method and a device for encoding and reconstructing computer-generated video holograms using a conventional LC display: it provides holographic reconstruction of three-dimensional scenes using electronically controllable pixel in a holographic array (3) with a conventional resolution, and is reasonably free from flickering and cross-talk. Reconstruction is in real time, and for both eyes at the same time, over a large viewing zone. The method takes advantage of an optical focusing means (2) in order to image vertically coherent light emitted by a line light source (1) into viewing windows (8R, 8L) after modulation by the pixel array (3). The holographic reconstruction (11) of the scene is rendered visible from viewing windows (8R, 8L) for both eyes of an observer by way of diffraction at the pixels. According to the invention, the controllable pixels are disposed in vertical pixel columns (15, 16), which encode separate holograms of the same scene for each of the viewer's eyes (R, L), where said holograms are one-dimensional in the vertical direction and horizontally interleaved. An image separation means (7) with separating elements arranged parallel to the pixel columns reveals the respective pixel columns (15, 15′ or 16, 16′) for one eye and covers them for the other eye.

摘要:
A document includes at least one drawing or data produced, for example, by printing. In addition, this document includes a hologram representing part of the document. The hologram of this document is recorded using a system including a prerecorded or electrically controllable optical modulator in which the image of at least part of the document is recorded. This modulator is designed to be combined with a layer of photosensitive material. A first reference wave illuminates the layer of photosensitive material. A second wave incident on the modulator and giving rise to a third object wave is also transmitted to the layer of photosensitive material in order to interfere with the reference wave in this layer.

The invention relates to a holographic viewing device that enables a given pattern to be properly viewed in place of light sources in a scene and is easy to fabricate and assemble with consistent characteristics, and a computer-generated hologram for the same. The invention provides a holographic viewing device in which computer-generated holograms 2 and 3 each constructed as a transmission Fourier transform hologram is fitted in a frame member 1. At least one of phase information and amplitude information recorded in a certain predetermined peripheral site of the computer-generated hologram 2, 3 relative to an input pattern reconstructible from the computer-generated hologram is removed.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for replicating a hologram. The apparatus comprises an assembly operable to position a hologram in proximity to holographic recording material. The apparatus further comprises a beam steering unit operable to direct a beam at component portions of the hologram to replicate the component portions onto a holographic recording material. The beam steering unit is further operable to enable independently variable angles of incidence at which the beam strikes each component portion.
