Abstract

PortOn is a portable optical system that can form mid-air images that stand on a glossy surface such as a table or the floor. PortOn is composed of micro-mirror array plates (MMAPs), an image light source, a mirror, and polarizing elements. PortOn projects light to form a mid-air image at a position that is easy for a human to see when it is placed on a flat surface. Our contribution is a practical optical design that can be easily installed. We designed the arrangement of the MMAPs, mirror and light source to form a mid-air image by placing it on a flat and glossy surface. The advantage of our method is to erase unnecessary light and show beautiful mid-air image clearly by applying view angle control and polarization operating to the mid-air imaging system. With this method, it is possible to display computer graphics in the real world easily and realize mixed reality interaction.
