For a projector-based virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR)
display, a large depth of field and a high-speed image refresh rate
are important keys to improve the projector’s performance. Here, we
propose a solution that extends the depth of field of the projection
using a variable-focus lens and a high-speed projector as well as a
control method that synchronizes oscillation of the variable-focus
lens with the high-speed projector. The experiment confirms that the
proposed system can project the well-focused and dynamically
changeable contents on six different planes. Its projection range
varies from 0.3 m to 1.5 m, and the refresh rate is 166.7 Hz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
