Abstract

We present Tracs, a dual-sided see-through display system with controllable transparency. Traditional displays are a constant visual and communication barrier, hindering fast and efficient collaboration of spatially close or facing co-workers. Transparent displays could potentially remove these barriers, but introduce new issues of personal privacy, screen content privacy and visual interference. We therefore propose a solution with controllable transparency to overcome these problems. Tracs consists of two see-through displays, with a transparency-control layer, a backlight layer and a polarization adjustment layer in-between. The transparency-control layer is built as a grid of individually addressable transparency-controlled patches, allowing users to control the transparency overall or just locally. Additionally, the locally switchable backlight layer improves the contrast of LCD screen content. Tracs allows users to switch between personal and collaborative work fast and easily and gives them full control of transparent regions on their display.
轨迹:透明控制的透明显示器
我们提出了Tracs,一个双面透明显示系统,具有可控的透明度。传统的显示器是一个持续的视觉和沟通障碍,阻碍了空间上接近或面对的同事之间快速有效的协作。透明显示器可能会消除这些障碍,但也会带来个人隐私、屏幕内容隐私和视觉干扰等新问题。因此,我们提出了一种具有可控透明度的解决方案来克服这些问题。Tracs由两个透明显示器组成,其中有一个透明控制层、一个背光层和一个偏振调节层。透明度控制层被构建为可单独寻址的透明度控制补丁的网格,允许用户控制整体或局部的透明度。此外,局部可切换的背光层提高了LCD屏幕内容的对比度。Tracs允许用户在个人和协作工作之间快速轻松地切换,并使他们能够完全控制显示上的透明区域。
