Abstract

This study demonstrates a full-color near-eye holographic display capable of superimposing color virtual scenes with 2D, 3D, and multiple objects with extended depth upon a real scene, which also has the ability to present different 3D information depending on the focus of the user's eyes using a single computer-generated hologram per color channel. Our setup makes use of a hologram generation method based on two-step propagation and the singular value decomposition of the Fresnel transform impulse response function to efficiently generate the holograms of the target scene. Then, we test our proposal by implementing a holographic display that makes use of a phase-only spatial light modulator and time-division multiplexing for color reproduction. We demonstrate the superior quality and computation speed of this approach compared with other hologram generation techniques with both numerical and experimental results.
