Content

Since its invention in the late twenties, television has radically shaped the 20th century. Today, we view most of our visual entertainment and professional day-to-day operations on new and innovative displays. Bulky cathode-ray tubes, for instance, mostly disappeared from our desks. They have been widely replaced by flat panels. The form-factor of home-entertainment displays, as another example, is evolving from small cubes to large planes. The maximal size of flat-panel technology is constrained by technological and applicability issues. If their limits are reached, video projectors have a great potential to continue this trend. Furthermore, small displays are continuously carried around by most of us – as part of mobile phones, personal digital assistants, navigation systems, or laptops. What will come next? What will TVs be like in another 80 years from now? Will pixels die out and turn into voxels or hogels? Will interactive 3D experiences rule out passive 2D ones? These and other questions are of particular interest - especially when considering that it is likely that most of us will yet witness this evolution. This class gives technical insights into present and future trends of display technology. It focuses in particular on real-time rendering aspects that enable the visualization of graphical 2D and 3D content with such displays, and addresses specifically the field of augmented reality. Details are presented in the module overview below.

Das Fernsehen hat das zwanzigste Jahrhundert radikal mit gestaltet. Fernsehgeräte befinden sich nunmehr in fast jedem Haushalt. Eine interessante Frage, die sich stellt ist: Was bietet uns die Zukunft? Diese Veranstaltung gibt Einblicke in aktuelle und zukünftige Trends der Displaytechnology. Zunächst werden ausgewählte Themen der geometrischen- und Wellenoptik, und Radiometrie behandelt, die dann über die grundlegenden Displayverfahren hinweg zu den Informationsdisplays von morgen führen. Im Vordergrund dieser technologieorientierten Veranstaltung steht die Kombination von Echtzeit Computer Grafik und Optik. Unter anderem werden folgende Technologien behandelt: 3DTV, projektionsbasierende Verfahren und Projektoren der nächsten Generation, stereoskopische und autostereoskopische Techniken, computergenerierte- und digitale Holografie, volumetrische, multi-fokale und High-Dynamic-Range Displays, elektronisches Papier, organische und Polymer-Displays, Solid-State Displays, und hardwarebeschleunigte Renderingverfahren, die eine interaktive grafische Darstellung auf solchen Displays durch aktuelle Shadertechnologie ermöglichen.
