Description:


    In this reality-enhanced 3D display, Fresnel lenses are set so that parallax adds a sense of depth to a “real” image.Three-dimensional images appear very close to viewers (an effect that is difficult to achieve with conventional 3D displays), so viewers feel that their bodies are included in the 3D space. When a force-display SPIDAR is combined with the display system, users experience a reality-enhanced virtual environment with 3D images and force feedback.They interact with the images as if they were a part of the virtual environment.
