Thread: Innovative 3D LCD Display System

From the advanced 3D digital camera(Please refer - http://www.indiabroadband.net/home-a...tml#post236740 (World’s first 3D Digital camera)) to the stunning 3D digital viewer and breakthrough 3D printing technology, this total 3D imaging system will change the way you take and enjoy photos. Viewed with just the naked eye, 3D images come alive with breathtaking reality and natural beauty. Images that once were only a dream are now a reality.

With the FinePix REAL 3D system, you can review images in 3D on the camera's LCD monitor and also on the large LCD monitor of the 3D digital viewer. Frame your shot in 3D and play it back in 3D on the spot with the camera's monitor. On the large-screen 3D digital viewer, you can enjoy and share the full impact and presence of your 3D photos.

It has ability to perceive depth comes from viewing an object along two different lines of sight. This phenomenon is called parallax. The monitor on the 3D digital camera uses an originally developed “Light Direction Control System”, and the 3D digital viewer adopts a “Parallax Barrier System” to precisely direct light to the right and left eyes in a way that simulates parallax. Both enable easy and natural viewing of 3D images with just the naked eye.

so do we need glasses for this?? How will the system "aim" at our right eye/left eye ?
Without some glasses, the effect will be very limited....

No, you do not need to wear any special glasses or instrument.

To create 3D effect system uses “Light Direction Control System” in 3D Camera (http://www.indiabroadband.net/home-a...tml#post236740 (World’s first 3D Digital camera)) and “Parallax Barrier System” in 3D viewer or in 3D Display.

• Parallax Barrier System - It consists of a layer of material with a series of precision slits, allowing each eye to see a different set of pixels, so creating a sense of depth through parallax (the difference in the angular position of two stationary points relative to each other from different viewing positions.).
  
• Parallax - Parallax is a visible displacement or difference of orientation of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, And is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines. The objects near to you have larger parallax than the objects which are far-away.

You can very easily see the effect of parallax:

Hold up your index finger in front of you. Close one eye and line up your finger with something further away such as a door, piece of furniture, window, whatever. Now without moving your finger, move your head from left to right or right to left - your finger will seem to move slightly as you turn your head. Amazing! You are seeing parallax.

A simple everyday example of parallax can be seen in the dashboard of motor vehicles which use a "needle" type speedometer gauge (when the needle is mounted in front of its dial scale in a way that leaves a noticeable spacing between them). When viewed from directly in front, the speed may show 60 (i.e. the needle appears against the '60' mark on the dial behind); but when viewed from the passenger seat (i.e. from an oblique angle) the needle can appear against a slightly lower or higher mark (depending on whether it is viewed from the left or from the right), because of the combined effect of the spacing and the angle of view.

Therefore parallax can be used to determine distances.
Through this Technology you can sense the depth of images.

Yes there are some limitations:

• The viewer must be positioned in a well defined spot to experience the 3D effect.
• The depth you can visualize is also depends on the distance between the shots taken from different angles by 3D Digital camera ( Please refer another article on 3D Digital cameras - http://www.indiabroadband.net/home-a...tml#post236740 (World’s first 3D Digital camera) ).
• But the images are such realistic that you can feel that images are really popping out from the screen.

Hope the above information will be useful to understand the System.

in my previous post i said without glasses the effect will be very limited, which is in line with the limitations of the product.
At its sweet-spot the effect will be great, but anything away from it, it will not look as impressive. Simple reason is that different parts of the image have to go to your left and right eye. Without things like glasses, those images can not be isolated to either eye resulting in poor result. You should try Nvidia's 3D vision, thats really kik ass (3D vision + 7.1 audio = Pure immersive gaming + huge bill)

Yes the sweet-spot is the main disadvantage of this display.

There are certain limitations with anaglyph glasses in color reproduction that you can't overcome.
You can't get any better colors with 3D vision discover because the colors are what encode what each eye sees. One eye can't see red and the other can't see cyan, and you can't replace that.
You can see all colors and achieve results like only with 3D Vision's shutter glasses... that is impossible with anaglyph glasses.

Things like that almost balance out the fact that you’ll probably need to get a new 1200hz monitor in order to actually use the tech. It’s that unfortunate requirement for a specific type of monitor, which is a sad limitation of the technology, which really cripples the 3D vision.

More of an issue with the 3DVision shutter-glasses is the fact that they only really work best in certain conditions. Ideally you want to play your games with all nearby lights turned off and no extra monitors on. If you’ve got an illuminated keyboard or mouse then you’ll want to turn them off too.

The reason for this required darkness is that the light sources we take for granted work by pulsing light faster than the human eye can see, to give an impression of constant light. Your monitor might look like it’s beaming constantly right now, but it’s actually refreshing and flashing 60 times a second. The same is true for lamps, backlit keyboards and fluorescent lights.

It’s a sad fact that eyestrain is a bit of an issue with the 3DVision too.

With 3D LCD Display you can get true color reproduction and can enjoy the real 3D Images, games or movies with all members of your family.
