Abstract:
Electro-holography is a promising display technology that can reconstruct a photorealistic three-dimensional (3D) movie; however, it is yet to be realized practically owing to the need for enormous calculation power. A special-purpose computer for electro-holography, namely HORN, has been studied for over 20 years as a means to solve this problem. The latest version of HORN, HORN-8, was developed using field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. Initially, a circuit for amplitude-type electro-holography was implemented in HORN-8; however, implementation of phase-type electro-holography has remained an issue. In this paper, the development of new version of HORN-8 and its cluster system, which achieved a real-time reconstruction of a 3D movie with point clouds comprised of 32,000 points for phase-type electro-holography, was reported.
