ABSTRACT
This study proposes a novel computational imaging system that integrates a see-through screen (STS) with volume holographic optical elements (vHOEs) and a digital camera unit. Because of the unique features of the vHOE, the STS can function as a holographic waveguide device (HWD) and enable the camera to capture the frontal image when the user gazes at the screen. This system not only provides an innovative solution to a high-quality video communication system by realizing eye-contact but also contributes to other visual applications due to its refined structure. However, there is a dilemma in the proposed imaging system for a wider field of view, a larger vHOE is necessary. If the size of the vHOE is larger, the light rays from the same object point are diffracted at different Bragg conditions and reflect a different number of times, which causes blurring of the captured image. The system imaging process is analyzed by ray tracing, and a digital image reconstruction method was employed to obtain a clear picture in this study. Optical experiments confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed HWD-STS camera.
