Abstract

A geometric phase (GP) integral floating display can provide multifocal three-dimensional (3D) augmented reality (AR) images with enhanced depth expression by switching the focal modes of the GP lens via polarization control. However, using temporal multiplexing to switch between the focal modes of GP optics causes flickering as each 3D AR image is fully presented in different frames and their temporal luminance profile becomes easily recognizable, particularly as the number of available focal modes increases. Here, we propose a novel integral floating technique to generate pixelated interwoven 3D AR images; a half of each image is spatially mixed with another and presented in both focal modes simultaneously to resolve the flickering issue. The principle was verified via experimental demonstration and optically measured data.
