Light field display system for consumer devices
A light field display system is implemented in a consumer device to present the user of the consumer device with holographic content, providing the user with an immersive operational experience. The system generates and presents holographic content for the user. The system receives a command from the user. In some embodiments, the presented holographic content may comprise a holographic user interface that is used by the system to receive the commands from the user. Subsequently, the system recognizes the received commands, determines one or more computational commands for execution by the system, and executes the determined computational command.

wherein the LF display assembly comprises:
an energy device layer comprising one or more displays operable to project modulated energy;
a waveguide layer operable to direct the modulated energy from a plurality of energy source locations on an energy surface along different propagation paths to a plurality of points of convergence in space that form holographic representations of objects in the holographic content, each of the different propagation paths being determined based on the respective energy source location on the energy surface.
