This folder contains all the geometry files needed in order to fabricate the prototype presented in the paper "Cinema3D: Large Scale Automultiscopic Display", as well as the design used for the simulations in the paper.


Prototype

The slanted barriers in the prototype were manufactured from thin pieces of aluminium sheet. The slits were engraved using cnc, and the sheets were bent to a specified radius that approximated the slant in the optimal way.
The file "prototype.pdf" contains all of the information about the slanted barriers, their radius and slits location and width, the vertical barrier slits width and location, and the holders for the entire design.



Simulations design

The folder "simulation stl files" contain the geometric structure of the display component in stl files. There are 540 different angle reduction elements that can be found in the folder "angle reduction elements".
The vertical lenses are identicall to all of the pixel rows, therefore there is one file, which is replicated and placed according to the specification in the sketch attached. Notice that the lens has a very small curvature and it seems almost flat. Its focal length is 466mm.
The slanted mirrors are also identical to all pixel rows, the stl file attached should also be replicated and placed according to the specifications in the sketch.
All the dimensions specifing the exact location of each component can be found in "simulations_design_dimensions.xlsx" and "simulations_design_sketch.png" files.
