Abstract

This paper describes in detail the design, development,and evaluation of the TWISTER III (Telexistence Wide-angleImmersive STEReoscope) and demonstrates how thissystem can display immersive three-dimensional full-colorand live motion pictures without the need for special eye-wear.The device works as a cylindrical display by rotating30 display units around an observer and presentingtime-varying patterns, while immersive autostereoscopic visionis achieved by employing a "rotating parallax barrier"method.After explaining the principle, we discuss the designsand implementations for maximum performance invarious aspects of the display.We also evaluate the display.
