Topic: 3D display


  
  3D display - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holographic displays display a light field which is identical to that which emanated from the original scene, giving a perfect three-dimensional image, although usually only at the particular wavelengths of the lasers used to record the image.
Rotating Panel Displays There is a new type of 3D display that is a cross between stereoscopic and holographic.
As the display panel spins at a very high rate of speed, at each step of the stepper-motor the screen is updated for that "Slice" of what the image is at that point.

Autostereoscopic viewing is the ability for the displayed objects to be continuously viewable from all regions within the viewing zone, and accommodation is the ability for the user to focus on selected depth planes within the object.
Display approaches in which two-dimensional reflective or emissive surfaces are swept throughout a third dimension have been demonstrated, but they too have restricted viewing zones and require large surfaces to be deflected or rotated at high speeds.
Scanning the pump laser beams inside the display at a sufficiently high rate decreases the excitation period, and reduces single frequency upconversion in erbium to a magnitude where it is not noticeable to the viewer.

 Mathematica on 3D Display from X3D Technologies -- from Mathematica Information Center
The use of the multichannel system, where the number of the presented display channels is much more than two, leads to the appearance of greater quality in the demonstrated stereo image.
In particular, it means that 3D images may be looked at by many observers simultaneously and without any view aids such as helmets, glasses, and so on.
In my opinion the success of our company in the creation of the 3D display and development of the corresponding methods for the image processing is due to the use of the Mathematica on all stages of calculations and renditions.

Please note that the MAX R2 display pipeline is a significantly enhanced superset of the MAX R1.x pipeline.
Once the 3D data is converted into 2D device space (with colors, and possibly depth values and texture coordinates), it is handed over to the rasterization processor on the display card.
HEIDI is unique in the broad range of 3D support it provides: it supports primitives at the rasterization (device coordinate) level, at an abstract 2D coordinate level, and at the full 3D scene level.

 3D Glass
The 3D video signal is usually viewed while wearing a pair of LCD shutter glasses which only allow the left eye to see left images and the right eye to see right images.
There have been many methods for generating 3D displays, but the most common of them used with computers are LC shutter glasses and head mount displays (HMD).
When the left image is displayed, the left lens of the eyewear opens while the right lens closes-displaying the correct image to the correct eye.

The display is easier to view than other 3-D display systems and avoids the left-right image reversal possible with established parallax methods, the company claims.
The display switches to 2-D by sending the same image to both the odd and even lines of the LCD, or by switching to a conventional LCD backlight and sending a conventional image to the screen.
While licensing the technology to established display manufacturers remains an option, Trayner believes it may be up to RealityVision to build the first commercial units and demonstrate their usefulness in a variety of applications.

 Japanese 3D display goes the distance (April 2005) - News - optics.org
Based on an array of small lenses, the device generates a 3D image with a perceived depth of several metres for viewing with the naked eye.
When passed through an array of lenses the result is a 3D image with a depth of 5.7 m or more in front of the display and 3.5 m or more behind the display.
The researchers then use the 3D display's lens array to capture this view on photographic film, creating a reference image that self compensates for any lens distortion or misplacement.

 Toshiba Flatbed 3D Display: Science Fiction in the News
Toshiba has developed a flatbed 3D display that stand out from the screen, without the use of special glasses.
The difference in the distance from the eye to the center of a display, and from the eye to the display's edges and corners, is greater for a flatbed display than for a standard upright display.
In seeking reproduction of natural 3-D images on the flatbed display, Toshiba developed proprietary software that utilizes 10 or more views of an object (the current prototype takes 12 or 16), either live-action images or CG images, and which processes and reproduces the images in 3-D, with a wide viewing angle.
