A large scale interactive holographic display

Our work focuses on the development of interactive multi-user holographic displays that allow freely moving naked eye participants to share a three dimensional scene with fully continuous, observer independent, parallax. Our approach is based on a scalable design that exploits a specially arranged array of projectors and a holographic screen. The feasibility of such an approach has already been demonstrated with a working hardware and software 7.4M pixel prototype driven at 10-15Hz by two DVI streams. In this short contribution, we illustrate our progress, presenting a 50M pixel display prototype driven by a dedicated cluster hosting multiple consumer level graphic cards.
