METHOD FOR GENERATION AND VIEWING STEREO IMAGE FOR MOVING OBSERVER AND DEVICE WHICH IMPLEMENTS SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: generation of stereo images on display screens. SUBSTANCE: invention provides possibility to view stereo images of arbitrary complexity and definiteness, including dynamic ones, without glasses or other additional equipment by means of tradition visual information displaying tool, simple add-on hardware and software units. Method is based on conversion of information to stereo signal for left and right eyes of observer and displaying information for left and right eyes on display. It involves conversion of source information signals to at least two synchronous sequences or alternating groups of encoded signals with images for left and right eyes of observer, generation of alternating image elements for left and right eyes of observer by means of selective transmission of images for left and right eyes of observer through optical film strip pattern which is designed as vertical lines, correction of image elements for left and right eyes of observer on display screen depending on alternation of observer's position. Device which implements said method has serial circuit of converter of information to signals for left and right eyes of observer, unit for displaying picture elements for left and right eyes of observer. Latter unit is optically connected to converter of image elements to stereo image. In addition device has unit for correction of display screen images depending on alternation of observer's position. Unit for displaying image elements is screen of either computer display, cathode-ray terminal or any other device for TV displaying of visual information. Image elements are converted to stereo image by means of optical strip pattern which is applied over display screen or is mounted inside kinescope of display or any other device for TV displaying of visual information. EFFECT: increased quality of stereo image, simplified design and manufacturing of displaying equipment. 5 cl, 5 dwg
