Abstract

A three dimensional (3D) integral imaging (II) technique with a real-time passive lighting responsive ability and vivid 3D performance has been proposed and demonstrated. Some novel lighting responsive phenomena, including light-activated 3D imaging, and light-controlled 3D image scaling and translation, have been realized optically without updating images. By switching the on/off state of a point light source illuminated on the proposed II system, the 3D images can show/hide independent of the diffused illumination background. By changing the position or illumination direction of the point light source, the position and magnification of the 3D image can be modulated in real time. The lighting responsive mechanism of the 3D II system is deduced analytically and verified experimentally. A flexible thin film lighting responsive II system with a 0.4 mm thickness was fabricated. This technique gives some additional degrees of freedom in order to design the II system and enable the virtual 3D image to interact with the real illumination environment in real time.
