So Simple, Even A Monkey Can Watch It
Sunday, September 6th, 2009
The days of theaters full of Poindexters are numbered as Alioscopy USA, a 3D visualization technology provider, will showcase autostereoscopic 3D content playing on a proprietary HD LCD display at IBC 2009 in Amsterdam, September 11-15, 2009.
Autostereoscopy is a technique for displaying three-dimensional images that can be viewed without glasses or other headgear. Depth perception is produced on a display using lenticular lenses or parallax barriers. The displays can have multiple viewing zones, allowing many users to watch the stereoscopic image at the same time. Other displays use eye tracking systems to automatically adjust the stereo pairs to follow viewers’ eyes as they move their heads. Although eyestrain and headaches are still a side effect of extended viewing exposure, the autostereoscopic market is taking flight - driven by the resurgence of stereoscopic films and the emerging stereoscopic broadcast market
A wide range of players are in the game with Alioscopy, including 3Dicon, Apple, Dimension Technologies, Fraunhofer HHI, Hitachi, Holografika , i-Art, Miracube, NewSight, Philips, SeeFront, SeeReal Technologies, Sharp, Spatial View, Tridelity, VisuMotion and Zero Creative. Philips has released the first 3D HDTV, with a 2160p resolution of 3840×2160 pixels and 46 viewing angles, while Hitachi has released the first 3D mobile phone for the Japanese market.
The Japanese get all the cool stuff first!
