Abstract
An autostereoscopic display system, which allowed multiple viewers simultaneously by use of head-tracking, was previously demonstrated for TV applications in the ATTEST project. However, the requirement for a dynamically addressable, movable backlight presented several problems for the illumination source. In this paper, the authors demonstrate how the use of a novel laser-based holographic projection system can be used to address these problems.
