Method and system for time-multiplexed shared display
First Claim
1. A method for sharing a display, comprising:
- displaying periodically a private image sequence on the display in synchronicity with a first signal, wherein the private image sequence displays first content in a first region of the display and second content in a second region of the display; and
displaying periodically a non-private image sequence on the display, wherein the private image sequence is not displayed while displaying the non-private image sequence, wherein the non-private image sequence displays the first content in the first region of the display and a negative image of the second content in the second region of the display;
wherein the private image sequence and the non-private image sequence combine to form a public image sequence on the display, the public image sequence including the first content appearing in the first region of the display and a uniform gray content appearing in the second region of the display, such that the first content and the uniform gray content are viewable to a user without use of a set of shuttering goggles, and the first content and the second content are viewable to a user using a set of shuttering goggles shuttering in synchronicity with the first signal.
