Depth camera based system for auto-stereoscopic displays

Stereoscopic displays are becoming very popular since more and more contents are now available. As an extension, auto-stereoscopic screens allow several users to watch stereoscopic images without wearing any glasses. For the moment, synthetized content are the easiest solutions to provide, in realtime, all the multiple input images required by such kind of technology. However, live videos are a very important issue in some fields like augmented reality applications, but remain difficult to be applied on auto-stereoscopic displays. In this paper, we present a system based on a depth camera and a color camera that are combined to produce the multiple input images in realtime. The result of this approach can be easily used with any kind of auto-stereoscopic screen.
