3-dimensional autostereoscopic displays with 4K televisions

This thesis report presents the research conducted over the course of Fall 2016 through Fall 2017 in regards to 3-Dimensional autostereoscopic light fields. It includes work from a senior project called 6.UAP and a Masters of Engineering thesis called the MEng. In the 6.UAP senior project, combination methods for autostereoscopic 3D displays on high definition screens were explored by integrating a Pepper's Ghost effect (using a trapezoidal prism) with 3D integral imaging (using a lenticular array). In the MEng thesis the complexity of the illusion was increased by utilizing a cone in place of a trapezoidal prism, and a radial parallax barrier in place of a lenticular array. This created a light field with a field of view of about 40 degrees and appeared 3D when perspective was shifted from left to right. The results of this project proved 3D autostereoscopic displays with radial parallax barriers were possible and merit future work in the area of radial lenticular arrays and parallax barriers..
