Various Configurations Of The Viewing Window Based 3D Display System
First Claim
1. A system for creating a 3D panoramic projected image, comprising:
- a plurality of projectors along a line, said plurality of projectors defining a projection baseline, each projector in said plurality of projectors provides a shifted view of a common subject from a different view angle;
a screen having a width wider than the field-of-view any individual projector in said plurality of projectors;
wherein the projectors are arranged so that the images provided by adjacent projectors are partially overlapped on said screen and are geometrically aligned, the projected image from each adjacent projector along said projection baseline are shifted along a common direction on said screen, said plurality of projectors having an absence any photometric alignment from one projector to another.

Abstract
A panoramic 3D image is created by using multiple projectors whose field-of-view is narrower than the screen'"'"'s width. Each projector provides a different image of a common subject from a different view angle, and the different images are mosaiced onto the screen. An observer may have a limited view of the composite image depending on which projectors are within the observer'"'"'s field-of-view. A viewing volume is also extended by using space beyond a far limit line dependent upon the observer'"'"'s inter-pupillary distance, the width of each projector'"'"'s viewing window, and the distance from the projection baseline to the screen
