Real-time spatiotemporal division multiplexing electroholography with a single graphics processing unit utilizing movie features.

Abstract

We propose a real-time spatiotemporal division multiplexing electroholography utilizing the features of movies. The proposed method spatially divides a 3-D object into plural parts and periodically selects a divided part in each frame, thereby reconstructing a three-dimensional (3-D) movie of the original object. Computer-generated holograms of the selected part are calculated by a single graphics processing unit and sequentially displayed on a spatial light modulator. Visual continuity enables a reconstructed movie of the original 3-D object. The proposed method realized a real-time reconstructed movie of a 3-D object composed of 11,646 points at over 30 frames per second (fps). We also displayed a reconstructed movie of a 3-D object composed of 44,647 points at about 10 fps.
