Abstract
Immersive glasses-free display technologies provide stereoscopic visual experience for multiple users without the requirement of specialized glasses. By accurately customizing light fields, stereoscopic display can replicate realistic three-dimensional scenes with motion parallax and depth cues. The amalgamation of stereoscopic display technologies, computing techniques, exhibition design, information and communications technologies (ICTs) are widely used in conference and exhibition centers, museums, libraries, art galleries, archive centers, and so forth. These innovative models of modern exhibition industry reshape the organizational structure, improve working methods and business processes for upstream and downstream enterprises. Immersive glasses-free stereoscopic display technologies consist of holographic 3D display, optical illusion display, projection stereoscopic display, floating 3D display, and light field 3D display. This paper analyzed the aforementioned technical background, technical principles, and typical application scenarios. Then, the advantages and disadvantages of each technology in key performance indicators, including resolution, color reproduction degree, and field of view angle were compared. Also, the future trends, limitations and potential improvement directions in practical application were discussed. This study explores the application of immersive glasses-free stereoscopic display technologies in meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions (MICE) to improve audiences’ immersive experience, providing practical insights into such technologies as a critical basis for sustainable exhibition service.Keywords
