Hundreds of Images at Once
3D movies in the cinema only show two different pictures -- one for each eye. The newly developed display, however, can present hundreds of pictures. Walking by the display, one can get a view of the displayed object from different sides, just like passing a real object. For this, however, a new video format is required, which has already been developed by the researchers. "Today's 3D cinema movies can be converted into our 3D format, but we expect that new footage will be created especially for our displays -- perhaps with a much larger number of cameras," says Franz Fiedler, CTO of TriLite Technologies.
