Abstract:
A system and method for extending a projection boundary for a holographic display device. The system includes a display device with electroactive polymer strips attached to the bottom of the display device and two microfluidic display layers affixed to the top. The two microfluidic display layers have holographic projectors therebetween. Light is projected from the holographic projects through the second microfluidic layer and holographic objects are created where the projected light converges. A user changes the dimensions or location of a holographic object using finger gestures. The system calculates the focal length required to make the change instructed by the user and the microfluidic display layers deform to create a convex lens in the second microfluidic layer with the focal length required to make the change instructed by the user.
