Abstract:
1. A method for presenting information across multiple electronic displays, comprising: arranged to define a non-coplanar ensemble; generating and displaying on each display a uniquely encoded emblem of predetermined size and shape that encodes a unique identifier for that display; optically capturing at least one digital image of the ensemble so that the encoded emblem for each display is captured from a vantage point spaced apart from the ensemble, the optically captured image having a captured size that varies from the predetermined size based on distance from vantage point to ensemble and having a captured shape that has foreshortened dimensions across the line of sight between vantage point and ensemble; defining a reference coordinate system corresponding to the space occupied by the ensemble of electronic displays; processing each of the captured encoded emblem images to extract the following attributes: supplying the information to be presented as image data to be displayed across the ensemble of displays; and collectively processing the attributes for each of the encoded emblem images to compute for each display a transformation matrix that selects a portion of the image data for display on that monitor and that performs three-dimensional orientation correction so that the information presented on that display appears spatially consistent with the information presented on the other displays.
