Abstract:
The present disclosure includes systems, methods, computer readable media, and devices that can generate and present a digital overlay over a view of a tangible object within a display case. In particular, the systems and methods described herein can synchronize a switchable diffuser element with a display screen and one or more light sources to alternate between a scatter state and a transparent state based on a display rate. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods can alternate the display screen between an emissive state (for displaying an emitted digital image) and an attenuating state (for displaying a transparency mask image). By synchronously toggling the display screen and the diffuser element between states, the disclosed systems can present a digital overlay superimposed over a view the inside of the display case.

Claim (Index 1):
A display case for presenting computer-generated digital content overlaid on a view of tangible objects within the display case by way of a multi-layered transmissive display, the display case comprising:\n a display screen covering an open face of a display housing, wherein the display screen alternates between an emissive state where the display screen filters light waves to display an emitted light image and an attenuating state where the display screen filters light waves from an internal cavity of the display housing to display a transparency mask image; a diffuser element between the display screen and the internal cavity, wherein the diffuser element alternates between a transparent state and a scatter state to generate a digital overlay superimposed on a view of the internal cavity; a diffuser direct light source located within the internal cavity of the display housing behind the diffuser element opposite the display screen and aligned to project light in a direction from inside the display case toward the diffuser element and that alternates between an on state where the diffuser direct light source illuminates the diffuser element and an off state where the diffuser direct light source is inactive; and a synchronizer that sets a display rate to trigger alternating the display screen, the diffuser element, and the diffuser direct light source, between states at a first point in time and a second point in time by:\n setting, at the first point in time, the display screen to the emissive state, the diffuser element to the scatter state, and the diffuser direct light source to the on state; and \n setting, at the second point in time, the display screen to the attenuating state, the diffuser element to the transparent state, and the diffuser direct light source to the off state.
