Claim Text:
1. A system for generating autostereo three-dimensional views of a scene for a plurality of viewpoints, the system comprising: a display for simultaneously displaying images from plural different viewpoints; a parallax barrier located in front of the display, the barrier having a pseudo-random arrangement of light ports through which the images are viewable, wherein the light ports are arranged in a non-uniformly distributed pattern, and wherein the non-uniformly distributed pattern comprises a pseudo-random pattern with a minimum distance constraint that defines a minimum distance that each of the light ports must be separated from every other light port and with desired average number of light ports per unit area; and a renderer, coupled to the display, for rendering images from the different viewpoints such that pixels that should appear differently from the different viewpoints are displayed in a predetermined manner and wherein the arrangement of the light ports in the barrier smoothes interference between the different viewpoints as perceived by viewers located at the different viewpoints, wherein the system comprises an autostereo display system that displays images on the display, which is located on a first side of the barrier, to users located on a second side of the barrier opposite the first side.
