The 3D displaying technology has being developed for years, and displays with wearable devices like 3D glasses are already mature. However, although many 3D display systems with no extra equipment required for user to wear have been built, few of them become really successful. Better solutions are still needed. An array display system developed by Dr. Philip Anthony Surman can provide user with 3D vision on naked eyes, but a head tracker is necessary for the system to work as user moves head. This project mainly explored how to build a head tracker with a Kinect for Windows v2 sensor for this system. In addition, a 3D camera is made by using two webcams and used to simulate head movement, which can let user see 3D object on screen of the array display system, just like looking at the object directly.
