HoloVizio – True 3D Display System

This paper presents HoloVizio true 3D display technology, and its real life implementations, the HoloVizio display models from Holografika. Our patented technology uses a specially arranged array of optical modules and a holographic screen. Each point of the holographic screen emits light beams of different color and intensity to various directions. The light beams generated in the optical modules hit the screen points in various angles and the holographic screen makes the necessary optical transformation to compose these beams into a perfectly continuous 3D view. With proper software control, light beams leaving the pixels propagate in multiple directions, as if they were emitted from the points of 3D objects at fixed spatial locations. We describe the 10 Mpixel desktop display and the 50Mpixel large-scale system. We cover the real-time control issues at high pixelcount systems with the HoloVizio software environment, give solutions for displaying various kinds of content, including 3D scenes from existing computer applications, 3D CAD models and natural content. We also describe concrete 3D applications developed in the frame of European projects.
