LIGHT FIELD DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR PERFORMANCE EVENTS

Smart overview of the Invention

A Light Field (LF) display system is designed to present holographic performance content in venues like theaters and concert halls. The system comprises multiple LF display modules that are tiled together to create a seamless display surface, forming a performance volume such as a stage. This setup allows viewers to experience holographic performances as if they were live. The LF display system can be part of a network that enables the recording and displaying of holographic content at different locations, either concurrently or non-concurrently, while managing digital rights.

Holographic Content and Interaction

The LF display system can reproduce performances occurring elsewhere or create unique holographic content for display. It includes features like a tracking system and viewer profiling to monitor audience interaction and tailor the holographic experience accordingly. Users can interact with the holographic content, with ultrasonic speakers providing haptic feedback to simulate touch. This interaction is captured by imaging sensors, allowing real-time adaptation of the holographic content based on user engagement.

Performance Network and Digital Rights

The LF display system is part of a broader performance network that facilitates the transmission of holographic content across venues. This network ensures that performances can be experienced in multiple locations simultaneously, enhancing accessibility for audiences who cannot attend in person. Furthermore, the network includes systems for managing digital rights, enabling venues to monetize access to holographic performances through transaction fees.

Technological Components and Capabilities

Each LF display module is equipped with layers for energy emission and waveguiding, allowing it to project and sense multiple types of energy simultaneously. This capability enables the creation of 3D or 2D holographic objects that can appear to float within a defined volume. The modules can also generate tactile sensations through ultrasonic waves, enhancing the sensory experience by providing a tactile surface for some holographic objects.

Holographic Object Volume

The system defines a holographic object volume where objects are perceived by viewers. This volume extends both in front of and behind the display surface, enabling dynamic placement of holographic objects within a venue's space. The convergence of light rays from the display area forms these objects, allowing them to be perceived as floating in space, providing an immersive viewing experience.
