Quantification of Visual Texture and Presentation of Intermediate Visual Texture by Spatial Mixing.

We proposed a method to display an intermediate visual texture by spatial mixing. In addition to color information, the visual texture is an important element that characterizes the nature of an object's surface. While the system to display various color information has well matured in engineering, there is no method to reproduce visual textures in ambient light.

Radially arranged dihedral corner reflector array for wide viewing angle of floating image without virtual image.

We proposed a new type of dihedral corner reflector array (DCRA) called "radially arranged DCRA". Our radially arranged DCRA could display a floating, three-dimensional image with a wide viewing angle without producing virtual images because dihedral corner reflectors were radially arranged for the designed paths of rays. In this research, we designed a reflector array pattern and evaluated the viewing angle of the floating image displayed by our radially arranged DCRA.
