In recent years, tele-communication using video calling functions of, e.g., PCs and smartphones has been used in various situations, such as conversations in personal life and online meetings at work. Aiming at the enhancement of the sense of presence in video telecommunication systems, a holographic off-axis mirror, which is a see-through off-axis reflector fabricated as a holographic optical element (HOE), is utilized as an upright screen for a virtual- image display and a face image capture with eye-contact. Since the chromatic dispersion of the HOE causes image blur, we previously proposed a optical dispersion compensation technique for this system. In this paper, we extend the dispersion-compensation technique to full-color virtual-imaging systems with a holographic off-axis mirror exposed by red, green, and blue lasers. We demonstrate the proof of concept system experimentally using an A4-sized full-color holographic off-axis mirror. We also apply the same concept to the off-axis image capturing system using a full-color holographic mirror, which is also experimentally demonstrated. The proposed full-color virtual-image display and camera system will enable more attractive visual telecommunication systems, such as video phone or online conference.
We propose a fast calculation method to synthesize a computer-generated hologram (CGH) of realistic deep three-dimensional
(3D) scene. In our previous study, we have proposed a calculation method of CGH for reproducing such scene
called ray-sampling-plane (RSP) method, in which light-ray information of a scene is converted to wavefront, and the
wavefront is numerically propagated based on diffraction theory. In this paper, we introduce orthographic projection to the
RSP method for accelerating calculation time. By numerical experiments, we verified the accelerated calculation with the
ratio of 28-times compared to the conventional RSP method. The calculated CGH was fabricated by the printing system
using laser lithography and demonstrated deep 3D image reconstruction in 52mm×52mm with realistic appearance effect
such as gloss and translucent effect.
