Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students have acquired technical insights into present and future display technologies and techniques and understand the challenges of future information displays.
Skills Knowledge
Students will have a basic understanding of:

  • Physical properties of light (generation, propagation, interaction with light and matter) (K4, K5)
  • Basic principles of optics (reflective, refractive, holographic) (K4, K5)
  • Components (and various types) of conventional displays (incl. light generation, light modulation) (K4, K5)
  • Stereoscopic, autostereoscopic, volumetric, holographic, and light-field 3D Displays (K4, K5)
  • Possibilities and limitations of projection- and near-eye displays (K4, K5)
  • Basics of wave optics and geometric optics
  • Fundamentals of light modulation, principles of holography
  • Visual perception and display measures, basic display technologies
  • Projection displays
  • Projector-camera systems and techniques (including calibration and image correction)
  • Essence of stereoscopic and auto-stereoscopic displays (including parallax displays
  • Lightfield displays and volumetric displays)
  • Functioning of computer generated holography, near-eye displays
  • Real-time computer graphics and computer vision aspects that enable the visualization of graphical 2D and 3D content with such displays, as well as applications
