Steerable Multi-View Display

In this demonstration, we use head tracking to determine where multiple users are. Then, with the Microsoft Applied Sciences' wedge technology, we steer completely independent images to each user. In the video, one user is seeing a sun while at the same time another is seeing a rocket. This is maintained even as the users change positions relative to each other.

Simply amazing. Can you imagine the profound impact this kind of technology will have on the human race? Split-screen multiplayer console gaming will be a thing of the past!

One of these days, the kids will be saying - "You could only watch ONE show at a time?!"

It looks similar to how a lenticular lens works... I'm guessing the 'steered' image is light that has been 'directed' to the user via the head-tracking.

Maybe the wedge lens allows a certain number of degrees at any angle to be viewed? Then the limitation would be the number of degrees needed to provide a viewing experience.

That moves me to another thought... Could a spherical wedge lens be created? that would allow viewing from (almost) 360 degrees?

However this is done, it's very awesome

@Aldeni1551 This is not 3D.... This is 2 people watching 2 different channels on the SAME television.

THIS is how 3D should be done. Not with shitty glasses and £3000 TVs

very nice...
