Soon watch 3-D movies at home sans glasses
Hello, Steemians!!
A team of researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) is trying to bring glasses-free-3-D technology to your living room. This new Home3d system allows users to watch 3-D movies at home without having to wear special glasses. Better still, this new tech works with any existing 3D movie.
This new system also doesn’t require any new special source material – it converts existing 3D movies from their stereo format to one that’s compatible with so-called auto multis Copic displays, Another perk of the Home3D tech is that viewers can customise the depth effect they see. The tech presents even high depth scenes with a very high resolution and accuracy. So, although some people might enjoy wearing specs for the glasses-assisted 3D tech they have at home, there may soon be a much nicer, hassle-free alternative that makes 3D viewing even more popular.
Home3D runs in real-time on a graphics processing unit (GPU) like PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Home3D could also eventually run on chips embedded in TVs, Blu-ray players or even something like Google Chromecast, making it suitable both for integrated solutions and aftermarket devices. While many TVs and home theatre projectors support glasses-assisted 3D, this new research describes a method that could go a lot further in terms of popularising the tech. It’s still quite far off from commercialization, but it’s an area that both TV makers and content producers should be excited to pursue.
