IT Infrastructure: Imagine 3D Video Without Those Annoying Red-Blue Glasses


Alioscopy's autostereoscopic 3D, now being used in selected display advertising deployments, is best viewed from a distance of 10 to 30 feet. The moving images consist of an unlimited number of layers; they are rendered on a regular high-resolution screen from eight different horizontal points of view and photographed in a half-circle at equidistant intervals, using the Alioscopy technology. The next several pages show how these images look on the screen, or as best we can show you in plain old 2D.
 
  • Imagine 3-D Video Without Those Annoying Red-Blue Glasses
  • A 42-inch LED display screen in the window of an unoccupied retail store on Seventh Avenue and 50th Street in Manhattan causes groups of people to stop, look and wonder. The display shows looped videos of a rotating Snickers bar and a moving Intel logo. What's different about this is that it is a 3-dimensional display that doesn't require viewers to wear red-and-blue glasses to see the 3D effect. (Photo courtesy of Alioscopy)
  • Three-dimensional graphics don't translate to two-dimensional media very well, but an augmented photo of butterflies coming through the screen isn't far from what viewers experience in autostereoscopic 3D. (Photo courtesy of Alioscopy)
  • Another example of Alioscopy's autostereoscopic 3D is this photo depicting coins coming out of the screen.(Photo courtesy of Alioscopy)
