Methods and systems of displaying an image free of motion-blur using spinning projectors

Spinning-projector show display hardware.

According to one implementation, an image display system includes a motor configured to spin a rotor, first and second projectors, a projection screen having a first projection surface on a first side and a second projection surface on a second side opposite the first side, and a controller. The controller causes the motor to spin the rotor that spins the projection screen, the first projector, and the second projector about an axis, displays a first perspective of an image on the first projection surface using the first projector, and concurrently with displaying the first perspective of the image on the first projection surface, displays a second perspective of the image on the second projection surface using the second projector.

BACKGROUND (1) Increases in computing power have made possible the generation of richly featured virtual imagery capable of simulating in-person interactivity. However, the display screens with which many modern communication devices are equipped are typically designed to display a two-dimensional (2D) image from a single viewing perspective. As a result, and despite their ability to display sharp, richly featured, high definition images, interactive group communications such as video conferencing and multi-player gaming using those devices tend to be less engaging and immersive than if the participants could be provided with the illusion of being together in person. (2) An alternative to the conventional approach to providing 2D images is to render group communications using 3D imagery. For example, a spinning display may be used to generate an apparently three-dimensional (3D) image that appears to float in space. However, rotational and translational motion-blur resulting from spinning of a conventional display screen may be readily detectable to the eye of a human user, and may undesirably reduce the immersiveness of the interactive experience for the user. SUMMARY (3) There are provided systems and methods for displaying an image free of motion-blur using spinning projectors, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, and as set forth more completely in the claims.
