3D projector

Abstract

This report details the work undertaken by the author towards the “3D Projector” project undertaken as part of the “MP4079 – Final Year Project” class at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The work was completed during the period from 12 August 2013 to 7 April 2014. The objectives set out at the beginning of the project were for the student to improve the existing 3D holographic projector at the Centre for Optical and Laser Engineering (COLE) laboratory at NTU, for them to prepare holographs for display, and to prepare an instruction manual. A review of background theory is supplied, along with the steps taken in the design optimisation process. Detailed CAD drawings of all the components in the projector are also provided. In the appendices section of the report, an instruction manual for the projector is also provided. Project objectives were completed ahead of time and to a satisfactory standard in regards to the original scope. The 500 Singapore dollar budget was not exceeded.
