Abstract: A light field display system is implemented in a consumer device to present the user of the consumer device with holographic content, providing the user with an immersive operational experience. The system generates and presents holographic content for the user. The system receives a command from the user. In some embodiments, the presented holographic content may comprise a holographic user interface that is used by the system to receive the commands from the user. Subsequently, the system recognizes the received commands, determines one or more computational commands for execution by the system, and executes the determined computational command.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include an energy directing device having one or more energy relay elements configured to direct energy from one or more energy locations through the device. In an embodiment, surfaces of the one or more energy relay elements may form a singular seamless energy surface where a separation between adjacent energy relay element surfaces is less than a minimum perceptible contour. In disclosed embodiments, energy is produced at energy locations having an active energy surface and a mechanical envelope. In an embodiment, the energy directing device is configured to relay energy from the energy locations through the singular seamless energy surface while minimizing separation between energy locations due to their mechanical envelope. In embodiments, the energy relay elements may comprise energy relays utilizing transverse Anderson localization phenomena.

Abstract: A light filed (LF) display system for displaying holographic content (e.g., a holographic film or holographic content to augment a film) to viewers in a cinema. The LF display system in the cinema includes LF display modules tiled together to form an array of LF modules. The array of LF modules create a holographic object volume for displaying the holographic content in the cinema. The array of LF modules displays the holographic content to viewers in viewing volumes. The LF display system can be included in a LF film network. The LF film network allows holographic content to be created at one location and presented at another location. The LF film network includes a network system to manage the digital rights of the holographic performance content.

Abstract: Relay systems may be incorporated into optical systems to direct light from at least one image source to a viewing volume. Light from a plurality of image sources may be directed by relay systems to a viewing volume. Some light from the plurality of image sources may be occluded by an occlusion system to reduce undesirable artifacts in when the relayed light from the plurality of image sources are observed in the viewing volume.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include an energy waveguide system having an array of waveguides and an energy inhibiting element configured to substantially fill a waveguide element aperture and selectively propagate energy along some energy propagation paths through the array of waveguides. In an embodiment, such an energy waveguide system may define energy propagation paths through the array of waveguides in accordance to a 4D plenoptic system. In an embodiment, energy propagating through the energy waveguide system may comprise energy propagation for stimulation of any sensory receptor response including visual, auditory, somatosensory systems, and the waveguides may be incorporated into a holographic display or an aggregated bidirectional seamless energy surface capable of both receiving and emitting two-dimensional, light field or holographic energy through waveguiding or other 4D plenoptic functions prescribing energy convergence within a viewing volume. The waveguides may include different structures configured for each or all sensory system or energy domain to direct energy through refraction, diffraction, reflection, or other approaches of affecting the propagation paths of energy.
