Cycle… What is this, 3?… Cycle 3D! Autostereoscopy Lenticular Monitor and Interlacing
Posted: November 24, 2015 Filed under: Jonathan Welch, Uncategorized | Tags: Jonathan Welch Leave a comment »One 23″ glasses-free/3D lenticular monitor. I get up to about 13 images at a spread of about 10 to 15 degrees, and a “sweet spot” 2 to 5 or 10 feet (depending the number of images); the background blurs with more images (this is 7). The head tracking and animation are not running for this demo (the interlacing is radically different from what I was doing with 3 images, and I have not written the patch or made the changes to the animation). The poor contrast is an artifact of the terrible camera, the brightness and contrast are normal, but the resolution on the horizontal axis diminishes with additional images. I still have a few bugs, honestly I hoped the lens would be different, this does not seem to really be designed specifically for a monitor with a pixel pitch of .265 mm (with a slight adjustment to the interlacing, it works just as well on the 24 inch with a pixel pitch of .27 mm). But it works, and it will do what I need.
better, stronger, faster, goosier
No you are not being paranoid, that goose with a tuba is watching you…
So far… It does head tracking and adjusts the interlacing to keep the viewer in the “sweet spot” (like a nintendo 3Dsa, but it is much harder when the viewer is farther away, and the eyes are only 1/2 to 1/10th of a degree apart). The goose recognizes a viewer, greets and follows the position… There is also recognition of sound, number of viewers, speed of motion, leaving, and over volume vs talking, but I have not written the animations for the reaction for each scenario, so it just looks at you as you move around. And the background is from the camera above the monitor, I had 3, so it would be in 3D, and have parallax, but it was more than the computer could handle, so I just made a slightly blurry background several feet back from the monitor. But it still has a live feed, so…
