Going against the grain this week was a 3D expert who stood strong in the face of growing opposition and doubt for the uptake of 3D technology because of the need for glasses.

Using glasses to view 3D content won’t be something that will discourage consumers, said Stu Lipoff of the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society Standards Committee. Read the rest of this entry »

A handful of players are currently competing for a slice of the 3D active-shutter glasses market. But very little has been said about the passive screen technology that is starting to emerge in the form of TVs and laptop screens.

Gunnmar Optiks have noticed this growth area, and have approached the 3D glasses market in a different way.

Instead of the plastickey budget feel that dominates most active-shutter designs, the company has released a stylish metallic range of goggles for viewing pleasure. Read the rest of this entry »

After all the talk we have had about 3D glasses and their claims to universality during the week, Sony have spited us by releasing some standalone 3D goggles to help view their impressive 3D TV catalogue.

In the Sony range, only the LX900 series comes with a set of glasses in the box, so all other shoppers are left to find their own sets like those pictured above. Read the rest of this entry »

As we reported last week, Monster released on the market an appealing attempt at a “universal” set of 3D glasses, which are supposed to be compatible across 3D TVs from all manufacturers.

The release was followed the next day by statement questioning the validity of such universality, citing tinting inconsistencies between different manufacturers and glass-makers, even after certain standards have been established for manufacturers to follow.

The topic needs more fleshing out, and Gary Merson of hdguru.com did just that after taking a better look at the glasses, and came to his own conclusions here.

Monster Cable is the latest manufacturer to have claimed to develop “universal” 3D active-shutter glasses; that is, 3D glasses that will work with any brand of 3D TV available.

The announcement came the day after an article was published on hdguru3d.com that expressed scepticism about the possiblity of such a universal product being possible, due to the tinting of the glass. Read the rest of this entry »

NHK the Japanese equivalent of the UK’s BBC recently committed itself to bringing the first holographic TV’s (now being referred to as Holo-TV’s) to consumers by 2020. The company recently invested £2.8 billion in the holographic project that will offer realistic visuals to audiences. According to Sony engineers, the Holo-TV’s will resemble a large book laid out on the floor. Lasers will then project a series of images that will appear to float in the middle of the platform and can be viewed from every angle without the need for 3D glasses. Japan is so confident in the project that the country has offered holographic broadcasts of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to the world if Japan is selected as the host nation for the tournament. Next month will see the South African held tournament offered to audiences worldwide in stereoscopic 3D for the first time ever which has caused a tremendous amount of excitement for sports fans.

In recent years, increasing demands for more realistic images has been the catalyst for 3D displays in various applications, such as movies, TV broadcasts, games, and mobile phones. As a result, the stereoscopic display market is expected to grow rapidly.
A 3D image is created by providing slightly different images to your left and right eyes. There are two methods of separating a picture into left and right images: one uses special glasses, and the other is without glasses, called auto-stereoscopy. The with-glasses approach is applied to movies and TV, and there are two primary methods: one uses polarizing filters, and the other is based on time division. This new LCD panel employs the latter time-based, with-glasses approach.
In the time-division with-glasses method, images for the left and right eyes appear alternately, with the special glasses working as a synchronous shutter. That is, when the left image appears, the left liquid crystal shutter opens while the right shutter closes. When the right image appears the right shutter opens while the left shutter closes. Repeating this operation at high speed allows the user to synthesize the left and right images in their brain and to recognize them as a 3D image.
