Definitions
- the invention in a first aspect, relates to a system for generating a haptic perception and a holographic image.
- the system comprises a light source for emitting light and a base body comprising a substrate and at least one holographic-optical element.
- the light source and the base body comprising the holographic-optical element are designed to generate a holographic image in an interaction area.
- the system includes one or more sound converters for emitting sound waves in the direction of the interaction area, so that pressure fluctuations within the interaction area can be felt.
- the system is characterized in that the substrate is located between the one or more sound transducers and the interaction area and has sound channels which are designed as openings through which the sound can propagate.
- the invention relates to the use of the system according to the invention for generating a holographic image and a haptic perception.
- Holography is a branch of optics that deals with the production and construction of three-dimensional, real images and can be understood as an extension of photography. While a photographic image is merely a two-dimensional representation of an object, holography produces three-dimensional images. Here, a different type of recording of the object comes into play. For example, in photography, a film shows an intensity of light reaching it at each point. In holography, on the other hand, additional optical information of an object is taken into account based on the wave fronts emanating from the object, in particular through the amplitude and phase. Other information that can be captured in a holographic recording relates to the color spectrum and polarization, which increases the variety of creative possibilities.
- the recorded image is usually referred to as a hologram, while an image generated on the basis of the hologram with appropriate reconstruction is referred to as a holographic image.
- a technological extension of holography provides for the generation and display of holographic images freely in space.
- mostly holographically produced microstructures are used in order to deflect the light of a specific wavelength spectrum or specific angle of incidence.
- real objects or animations can appear freely in space.
- such an image is advantageously visible from different sides—the viewer can therefore view the holographic image from different perspectives, resulting in a realistic image. It would be advantageous if such holographic images could also be tactilely felt in space, i.e. “felt”.
- HMI operating concepts
- the ultrasonic signals can be amplitude-modulated by a low frequency and hit the skin of a user.
- the ultrasonic signals act as pressure fluctuations on the skin and can be felt haptically.
- US Pat. No. 9,612,658 B2 discloses a device for generating a sound field for tactile sensations.
- a user's hand can be brought over a screen, which is supposed to feel a tactile signal.
- An array of ultrasonic transducers is positioned under the screen, which is intended to generate the sound field above the screen.
- the movement of the hand can be tracked in order to enable a corresponding pressure sensation in different areas.
- WO 2014/181084 A1 also discloses a device for generating a sound field using an array of ultrasonic transducers. For this purpose, a method is proposed to generate points in a sound field that have a fixed spatial relationship to one another or to the array.
- DE 102017116012 A1 discloses a display device which, in addition to the output of an optical image by generating a sound field, can also provide tactile feedback.
- the display device has an optical display with a plurality of pixels that generate an optical image on the front side of the display device.
- a plurality of sound transducers are provided, which are preferably arranged on a rear side of the display.
- control signals for the sound transducers are predistorted based on acoustic properties of the display in order to ensure compensation or mitigation of the acoustic distortion caused by the display.
- a display is provided whose pixels have an acoustically transparent area adjacent to three sub-pixels for the RGB colors.
- the sound converters are preferably aligned with the acoustically transparent areas in such a way that a sound converter in each case at least partially covers an acoustically transparent area.
- the size and arrangement of the acoustically transparent areas are therefore predetermined by the pixel array of the display, which, however, has a disadvantageous effect on flexible generation of a sound field in the space in front of the display.
- DE 10 2016 214 478 A1 discloses a holographic display mounted on a steering wheel of a vehicle.
- a haptic feedback for the case of an operation of the holographic display can take place by means of an ultrasonic pulse. If the ultrasonic pulse is focused on the position operated by the user within the holographic display, this can result in haptic feedback to the user, which can simulate the presence of a real button.
- the ultrasonic array for generating the ultrasonic pulse can be arranged, for example, in the steering column and/or in the area of the dashboard.
- DE 2016210213 A1 describes a method for the interaction of an occupant and operating elements of a vehicle.
- haptically perceptible ultrasonic pulses are generated by means of a large number of ultrasonic transducers, which can be arranged in the form of an array, the modulated individual signals of which are constructively superimposed on a surface of a virtual object.
- the virtual object can represent an operating device, for example. In this way, operating gestures are to be carried out freely in space for the user in highly automated ferry operations and linked to a haptic perception.
- DE 102017211378 A1 discloses a user interface for a vehicle comprising a display device having a holography device. With the holography device, a representation is generated freely in space, which is referred to as a hologram.
- the user interface can have an ultrasonic loudspeaker arrangement in order to generate haptically perceptible ultrasonic pulses on the skin of the user. A user can thus notice a noticeable stimulation by the ultrasound, so that haptic feedback results when the hologram is touched. The user should experience less distraction because he receives immediate feedback through the interaction with the hologram.
- the integration of the necessary components to provide a tactile sensation such as a holographic image in the respective vehicle systems is complex, which has an adverse effect on the manufacturing costs such as the control.
- the object of the invention is to provide a system for the haptic perception of a holographic image which eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the invention in a first aspect, relates to a system for generating a haptic perception and a holographic image in an interaction area, comprising a. a light source for emitting light b. a base body comprising a substrate and at least one holographic-optical element, wherein the light source and the base body are designed to generate a holographic image in the interaction area, and c. one or more sound transducers for emitting sound waves in the direction of the interaction area, so that pressure fluctuations within the interaction area can be felt by touch, characterized in that the substrate is located between the one or more sound transducers and the interaction area and the substrate has one or more sound channels, the sound waves propagating at least partially through the one or more sound channels in the direction of the holographic image.
- the arrangement of the components in particular the placement of the substrate between the sound transducers and the interaction area, enables a particularly compact structure of the system.
- the sound transducers can be arranged immediately behind the base body, comprising the holographic-optical element.
- both the light propagation for generating a holographic image and the sound propagation for generating a haptic perception in the interaction area take place starting from the substrate or base body.
- Access to the interaction area is advantageously possible from any direction in front of the base body or substrate, without the quality of the holographic imaging or haptic perception being impaired.
- the sound channels according to the invention ensure that the sound waves emitted by one or more sound transducers propagate in the direction of the holographic image as far as possible without distortion or attenuation, so that an optimal haptic detection of this is made possible.
- the sound waves are used particularly efficiently, since the propagation of the sound waves through the sound channels is prevented from being impeded.
- the substrate there is also a high degree of creative freedom due to the provision of the sound waves.
- materials such as optical glasses or plastic can be used, which are optimized for light transmission to generate holographic images, but can prevent sound propagation.
- Any robust construction can also be selected for the substrate, without causing sensitive pressure and/or intensity losses of the sound waves and consequently a reduction in haptic perception. Instead, it can be preferred to let corresponding sound channels into substrates depending on the optical requirements of optimized geometry and/or dimensioning, without having to accept any loss of quality in relation to a simultaneous haptic experience.
- the system according to the invention can be used to generate pressure maxima and pressure minima in the interaction area in a particularly targeted and precise manner.
- a desired pressure can be ensured in specific areas of the interaction area by means of interference, preferably with the aid of a corresponding positioning of the sound channels.
- the arrangement of the sound channels themselves can therefore be used for the desired formation of constructive and destructive interferences in order to generate pressure fluctuations for a haptic perceptibility of a holographic image.
- the system according to the invention has proven particularly advantageous in the field of human-machine interaction (HMI for short).
- Information in the form of haptic feedback is transmitted particularly effectively by sound waves, which preferably propagate in the direction of the holographic image.
- the combination with a holographic image makes it possible to provide a large amount of information.
- the haptic feedback can advantageously make operation safer and more efficient. For example, an operation can take place at least partially without eye contact, since the user receives feedback about the operation and/or the control element through the sense of touch. This increases security in particular, for example when using a means of transport such. a car.
- system according to the invention can advantageously be provided in a particularly simple, compact and cost-effective manner.
- a holographic image preferably designates an optical image that is generated with the aid of a holographic-optical element.
- This can be any content, for example information, animations or a projection of an object or control element.
- the holographic image can be a three-dimensional projection of an object that is located freely in space, in particular in the interaction area.
- the holographic image can represent an object statically or dynamically. It is preferred for the embodiment that the object appears free in space to the observer, ie preferably at a distance in front of the base body. This can preferably be a real image in a so-called holographic eyebox is visible.
- the holographic image can appear at a distance of more than 1 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 2 cm, 5 cm or more in front of the base body comprising the substrate and the at least one holographic-optical element.
- the holographic image can be generated on a projection surface, it being possible for the projection surface to be a transparent, a partially transparent or a non-transparent surface.
- the holographic image may represent, for example, but not limited to, a control panel, joystick, keyboard, and/or trackball.
- haptic perception preferably refers to the active sensing of an object's size, contour, texture, temperature, and/or mass using the surface sensitivity of the skin, while tactile perception refers to passive perception of mechanical stimuli.
- the surface sensitivity of the skin refers preferably to the sensitivity of the skin to external stimuli mediated by receptors. In particular, it includes the sense of touch, which is provided by mechanoreceptors, among other things.
- the haptic perception can include touching a real holographic image, for example its contours.
- local pressure fluctuations for a haptic/tactile perception are generated only in spatial proximity to the perceptible holographic image. For example, it may be preferred to project a holographic image onto a screen and generate haptic perceptions above the screen that correspond to the visual content projected on the screen (e.g., with control panels).
- haptic perception can be used synonymously in the context of the invention and in particular refer to the perceptions which can be mediated by (ultrasonic) pressure fluctuations in the air.
- the interaction area preferably designates a spatial area in which a holographic image is optically perceived by a user and at the same time a haptic/tactile perception is made possible.
- the interaction area can preferably be expanded or reduced by respective arrangements of components of the system and/or settings made. For example, it is known that the intensity of sound decreases with the square of the distance. For example, increasing the intensity of the sound transducers can increase the interaction area. Certain arrangements of the sound channels can also expand the interaction area. Accordingly, the interaction area can be reduced by reversing. The interaction area can also be enlarged or reduced by positioning the light source and/or the holographic-optical elements. In further preferred embodiments, the interaction area can include an eyebox.
- the eyebox preferably designates a plane or a spatial area in which the holographic image can be perceived by an observer or user as a virtual image.
- the virtual image plane ie the plane on which the virtual image is generated, can be arranged on or behind a projection surface.
- a light source includes all types of illuminants that convert electrical energy into light.
- the light source is preferably configured to emit light in the direction of the main body.
- the base body and the light source are designed in particular to generate the holographic image.
- the holographic image is preferably provided by at least one holographic-optical element.
- the light entry area preferably designates an area on the substrate in which the light enters the substrate.
- the light exit area designates an area of the substrate from which the light for generating a holographic image exits.
- a holographic-optical element preferably designates a component that was provided by holographic methods and fulfills an optical function.

- the sound converters can preferably use beamforming of the sound waves in order to emit sound waves in a particularly directed and focused manner and thus also intensively in specific areas of the interaction area.
- FIG. 3 shows an arrangement of sound channels, which surround a decoupling area comprising a second holographic-optical element 15 in top and side views.
- Fig. 3a shows a top view of an embodiment of the system 1 according to the invention.
- the sound channels 11 partially surround a decoupling area comprising a second holographic-optical element 15.
- a decoupling area comprising a second holographic-optical element 15.
- no sound channels 11 are arranged.
- the light does not experience any undesired deflection, for example due to a lens effect that could result from the sound channels 11 .
- the light can advantageously propagate unrefracted in the direction of the holographic-optical element 15 in order to generate the holographic image 3 in the interaction area.
- the sound channels 11 are designed as openings within the substrate 5 .
- the substrate 5 is located between the sound transducers 9 and the interaction area.
- the sound waves propagate through the sound channels 11 in the direction of the holographic image 3 in order to additionally generate a haptic signal for a user within the interaction area through pressure fluctuations.
- FIG. 4 shows a top view of sound channels 11 which completely surround a decoupling region comprising the second holographic-optical element 15 .
- the sound channels 11 are arranged as openings all the way around the second holographic-optical element 15, so that the sound waves can pass through them and generate a particularly focused and/or wide-area haptic signal.
- the light source 7 emits the light in the direction of the substrate 5.
- the figure shows that the light experiences a deflection during propagation through the sound channel 11.
- the reason for this is that the substrate material and a medium that is located within the sound channel 11 can have different refractive indices.
- the sound converters 9 are located behind the substrate 5, with the emitted sound waves (indicated by a circle around the sound converter 9) passing through the sound channels 11.
- ultrasonic waves can be emitted by the sound transducers.
- the tactile or haptic sensation for a user is triggered by sound pressure fluctuations in the interaction area.
- ultrasound has proven to be particularly advantageous in order to generate a particularly realistic haptic perception for the user.
- the system 1 makes it possible to generate both a holographic image 3 and a haptic perception without the substrate 5 blocking or inhibiting the sound.
- Fig. 6 illustrates the effect of differently geometrically shaped cross sections of the sound channels on the propagation of light in the substrate 5.
- Figure 6a illustrates the effect of angular cross-sections on light propagation.
- a sound channel with an angular cross section in particular a quadrangular cross section, makes it possible for light beams to experience little or no deflection.
- the boundary surfaces of the sound channel 11 are preferably oriented orthogonally to the propagation direction of the light beams. This is advantageous for the design of the optics of the system 1 according to the invention, since the course of the light can be controlled particularly easily, for example by attaching optical components and/or holographic-optical elements.
- Angular cross-sections, in particular square cross-sections, of the sound channels 11 are therefore particularly well suited for obtaining an effective and simple beam path.
- Fig. 6b illustrates the effect of sound channels 11 with an elliptical cross-section on the propagation of light.
- An elliptical cross section of the sound channels 11 is advantageous for the propagation of sound waves, since the mode spectrum is changed little or not at all with an elliptical shape.
- an elliptical cross section can have a similar effect as a have diverging lens.
- various possibilities for compensation can be provided in order to collimate the light beams again.
- Figure 7 illustrates the effect of a compensation HOE 17 in preferred embodiments.
- FIG. 7a there is a compensation HOE 17 arranged in such a way that the light passes through it after passing through a sound channel 11 .
- the light can be collimated if the sound channel has the effect of a diverging lens, for example.
- FIG. 7b shows another possibility for compensating for any undesired effects of the sound channel 11 on the propagation of light.
- the compensation HOE 17 is arranged in such a way that the light passes through it first before it has traversed the sound channel 11 .
- the compensation HOE 17 is set up to pre-compensate for the refractive effect of the sound channel, for example in that the compensation HOE 17 has the optical function.
- the compensation HOE 17 is preferably designed in such a way that it accepts different angles of incidence and combines different wavelengths correctly so that chromatic aberrations in the light propagation in the substrate are avoided.
- FIG. 8 illustrates further possible arrangements of compensation HOEs 17.
- the compensation HOE 17 is embedded in the substrate 5, while in FIG. 8b the substrate lies on a surface of the substrate 5.
- FIG. The compensation HOE 17 can be connected to the substrate 5 by laminating and/or gluing, for example in the form of a foil.
- connection options illustrated with the substrate 5 also apply analogously to all the holographic-optical elements shown.
- the holographic-optical elements can preferably be attached to and/or in the substrate 5 .
- Fig. 9 shows a representation of a sound channel 11 as a gap in plan and side view.
- an angular, especially a quadrangular, cross-section of the sound channels 11 has proven to be advantageous for the beam path, since the complexity of the beam path is reduced.
- FIG. 9a shows a view from above, in which several sound channels 11 are arranged in such a way that they surround a decoupling region comprising the second holographic-optical element 15, with a sound channel 11 being designed as a gap.
- the sound channel 11 designed as a gap is arranged in such a way that the light first passes through the gap before propagating to the second holographic element 15 in order to generate the holographic image 3 .
- Fig. 9b shows the same arrangement as that of Fig. 9a in side view.
- FIG 10 illustrates an embodiment of the system 1 according to the invention in which the sound channels 11 and/or the sound transducers 9 are inclined.
- FIG. 10a shows that the sound channels 11 are tilted.
- the sound waves propagating through the sound channels 11 experience a different diffraction behavior than if the sound channels 11 were not tilted.
- a tilted sound channel 11 is distinguished by the fact that it has an angle of inclination. This advantageously allows the sound pressure to be increased at specific positions in the interaction area, so that a more pronounced haptic signal can be generated.
- FIG. 10b shows an embodiment of the system 1 according to the invention, in which the sound channels 11 and the sound transducers 9 are tilted. It turned out to be advantageous that the sound pressure and the haptically perceptible pressure fluctuations could be increased to a particular extent.
- FIG. 11 shows the course of the beam and a further embodiment of the system 1 according to the invention, in which the sound channels 11 are tilted.
- the system 1 according to the invention is therefore preferably to be designed in such a way that the refraction effect of the sound channel is compensated for or the light is guided past the sound channels.
- 11b shows an embodiment in which not all, but some sound channels 11 are tilted, so that an increased sound pressure can still be achieved in the interaction area.
- Fig. 12 an embodiment of the system 1 according to the invention is illustrated, in which an expansion HOE 21 is arranged. Furthermore, the system 1 according to the invention has a light channel 23 .
- the light source emits light in the direction of the light channel 23.
- the light channel 23 is advantageously connected to the substrate 5 in such a way that the light is directed past the sound channels 11 in a targeted manner. As a result, the light advantageously does not experience any refraction, so that no compensation for the same is necessary. Instead, the light channel 23 forwards the light to a widening HOE 21.
- the light is widened by the widening HOE 21, in particular with regard to the propagation area.
- the light is directed over a large area, preferably collimated, in the direction of the second holographic optical element 15 in order to display the holographic image 3 .
- FIG. 13 illustrates an embodiment of the system 1 according to the invention, which has a flare HOE 21 .
- several holographic-optical elements are arranged next to one another in order to obtain pupil expansion.
- the light from the light source 7 is very narrowly coupled into the substrate 5 and deflected in such a way that it propagates around the sound channels 11 and experiences pupil expansion through the widening HOE 21 in the form of a number of holographic-optical elements.
- light is likewise expanded, the light from a plurality of holographic-optical elements preferably being expanded and directed to the second holographic-optical element in a collimated manner.
- FIG. 14 shows a further possibility for directing the light past the sound channels 11 in a targeted manner.
- This is particularly advantageous for embodiments in which the sound channels have a have an elliptical cross-section, since light could break outwards.
- additional deflection HOEs 19 are used in order to direct the light past the sound channels 11 in a targeted manner, in particular by means of total reflections.
- the light then reaches the second holographic optical element 15 in order to produce the holographic image 3 .
- the deflection HOEs 19 can be in the form of transmission and/or reflection holograms.
- the material has a refractive index similar to that of the substrate material.
- Oil has proven to be particularly advantageous as a filling material for the sound channels 11, since oil, preferably optical oil, can be selected with a refractive index that can be matched particularly closely to preferred optical glasses or plastics and at the same time has good sound transmission. Materials such as glycerin, water and/or silicone oil can also be used to advantage for filling the sound channels 11 .
- 15b schematically illustrates a cross-sectional view of a section (represented by the broken line) of the substrate 5, which has a sound channel 11, which is filled with a material, preferably a fluid.
- a film or membrane 25 is applied along the sound channel 11 to enclose the material (represented by the black filling).
- the film or the membrane 25 is preferably attached to the surfaces of the substrate 5 on both sides in order to close the filled sound channels 11 .
- the film or membrane 25 is transparent to the light from the light source and impervious to the enclosed material, preferably the fluid.
- the membrane can, for example, be a silicone membrane and the film can be a transparent plastic film, e.g.
- a PMMA film polymethyl methacrylate film
- an optical adhesive or an OCA film not shown
- a film cover 27 to the film or membrane 25.
- the film cover 27 has an opening 29 in the area of the sound channel 11 , the shape and size of which corresponds to the shape and size of the (cross-section of) the sound channel 11 .
- the foil cover 27 can preferably consist of the same material as the substrate 5 .
- FIG. 16 shows an embodiment of the system according to the invention in which a plurality of compensation HOEs 17 are arranged.
- a compensation HOE 17 in front of and behind a circular sound channel 11. This can advantageously simplify the compensation of the light by focusing the light with a compensation HOE 17 in front of the sound channel 11 in such a way that the light beams hit the boundary surfaces orthogonally when entering and exiting the sound channel. Undesirable refraction effects and imaging errors can be avoided particularly efficiently in this way.
