Controlling the angular extent of autostereoscopic viewing zones
First Claim
1. A method for providing an ability to alter an angular extent of a panoramagram viewing zone received from a display having a first quantity of columns of data associated therewith, comprising:
- providing a first column of data having a baseline number of views associated therewith, said first column of data provided to at least one lenticule in a lens sheet associated with the display; and
providing a second quantity of columns of data altered from the first quantity of columns of data to the at least one lenticule;
wherein the second quantity of columns comprises more views than the baseline number of views, and further wherein employing the second quantity of columns when constructing an autostereoscopic image provides a display having relatively clear viewing of autostereoscopic images for specific viewing distances.

Abstract
A method and system for providing an increased angular extent of autostereoscopic viewing zones received from a display is presented. The design comprises providing a first column of data having a baseline number of views associated therewith, said first column of data provided to at least one lenticule in a lens sheet associated with the display. The design further comprises altering the first quantity of columns of data to a second quantity of columns of data provided to the at least one lenticule. The second quantity of columns comprises more views than the baseline number of views. Employing the second quantity of columns when constructing an autostereoscopic image provides a display having relatively clear viewing of autostereoscopic images for specific viewing distances.

8. In a method of transmitting autostereoscopic images to a display having a lens sheet comprising at least one lenticule formed therein, the method using an interdigitation process forming autostereoscopic images from multiple views, an improvement comprising:
-
determining an enhanced number of views provided to the at least one lenticule, the enhanced number of views comprising more views than a baseline number of views;
wherein employing the enhanced number of views in constructing autostereoscopic images subsequently provided to the display provides for relatively clear viewing of the autostereoscopic images within specific viewing zones. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20)

15. An apparatus configured to provide an increased angular extent of autostereoscopic viewing zones for a display having a lens sheet associated therewith comprising at least one lenticule, the apparatus comprising:
-
a processor configured to determine an enhanced number of views provided to the at least one lenticule, the enhanced number of views comprising more views than a baseline number of views;
wherein employing the enhanced number of views in constructing autostereoscopic images subsequently provided to the display provides for relatively clear viewing of autostereoscopic images within specific viewing zones. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
