Emerging 3-D Imaging and Display Technologies [Scanning the Issue]

摘要

We have become an information-centric society vastly dependent on the collection, communication, and presentation of information. At any given moment, it is likely that we are in the vicinity of some form of a display as displays play a prominent role in a variety of devices and applications. Three-dimensional imaging and display technologies are important components for presentation and visualization of information and for creating real-world-like environments in communication. There are broad applications of 3-D imaging and display technologies in computers, communication, mobile devices, TV, video, entertainment, robotics, metrology, security and defense, healthcare, and medicine.
