Patent ID: 11774835

Abstract:
The present disclosure concerns a light-field projection system, comprising a pin-light array generating an incident light-field illuminating an optical light modulator for modulating the incident light-field and projecting a plurality of modulated light-field components along a projection axis; a first optical element configured for forming first pin-light images in a first pin-light plane and modulator images in a modulator image plane; and a second optical element defining an eye-box region and for forming second pin-light images in a second pin-light plane within the eye-box; the first and second pin-light planes and the modulator image plane being substantially perpendicular to the projection axis; the system further comprising at least one optical device at the first pin-light plane and being configured for interacting with at least one of the modulated light-field components, spatially shifting the modulated light-field components in the modulator image plane. The light-field projection allows for foveated projection.
