  1. The Fundamentals of Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) Display Technologies for Virtual Reality, Film, and Video Games Mark Newburn Vizics Inc. mark@vizics.com

  2. Stereoscopic Vision (Stereopsis) • Stereopsis – “Solid Sight” • Two Eyes • Interocular Distance (~2.5”) • Two Views • Retinal Disparity • Fusion - Singleness of vision • Limited Range (8”-30’) • Stereo Blindness • ~12% of general population

  3. Stereoscopic Imaging (Stereoscopy) • Simulation Process • 1) Generate Left/Right Eye Images (Stereo Pair) • 2) Present Each Image to the Correct Eye • Interaxial Separation • Normal (Interocular) • Hyperstereo (> normal) • Hypostereo (< normal) • Stereoscopy Artifacts • Discomfort/Nausea • Fusion Failure (Loss of 3D) Left Right Combined

  4. Stereoscopic Displays • Active Stereo • Passive Stereo • Polarized Filtered • Color Filtered • Autostereo

  5. Active Stereo Field Sequential Signal • Components • Field Sequential Signal • Alternating Left/Right Images • LCD Shutter Glasses • Sync Signal • Wired • IR Emitter • Advantages • Full Color • Single Projector/Monitor • Standard Screen or Monitor • Disadvantages • Low Frame Rate Flicker • More Expensive and Heavier Glasses • Light Loss Due to Glasses Sync Signal Projector or monitor IR Emitter LCD Shutter Glasses

  6. Passive Stereo – Polarized Filtered • Components • Dual-projectors • Polarized filter • Polarized glasses • Linear Polarization • Circular Polarization • Silver Screen • Preserves Polarization • Advantages • Full Color • Cheaper/Lighter Glasses • Reduced Flicker • Cheaper Projectors • Disadvantages • Projector Synchronization and Alignment • Need Silver Screen • Light Loss Due to Filter and Glasses

  7. Passive Stereo – Colored Filter Combine Left/Right Image • Components • Color Filtered Stereo Pair • Color Filtered Glasses • Complementary Color Anaglyphic • Color Pairs • Red/Cyan – Most Common • Blue/Green • ColorCode3D - Patented – Amber/Blue filter • 2009 Super Bowl Telecast • Advantages • Can Combine Stereo Pair into Single Image/Signal • Works for Prints, Images, and Video • Cheap Glasses • Disadvantages • Hard to Get Full Colors (Retinal Rivalry) – Best with Grayscale • Wavelength Multiplexing - (Infitec) • Filters Divide Visible Spectrum into Six Bands • R1,G1,B1 - Left Eye, R2,G2,B2 - Right Eye • Can Achieve Full Color and Use Standard Projection Screen Monitor or Projector

  8. Stereoscopic 3D Displays for Virtual Reality • S3D Display Technology Based on VR System and Size of Audience • Monitor (Fish Tank VR) • Active Stereo • Anaglyphic Stereo • Head Mounted Displays (HMD) • Separate Left/Right Signals • Active Stereo Converted to Separate Signals • Desks • Active Stereo • CAVE • Active Stereo • Passive Rarely • Walls/ Curved Screen • Active Stereo for Small Audiences • Passive for Larger Audiences

  9. Stereoscopic Displays for Film and Video • Film • RealD • 90% of World’s Stereo Capable Theaters • Active/Passive Hybrid • Single 144 Hz DLP projector • Z-Screen (Circular polarization) • Silver Screen • IMAX 3D • Dual-projectors • 70mm film format (switching to digital) • Linear polarization • Silver Screen • Dolby 3D • Infitec • Single Projector • Infitec Filter Wheel • Standard Screen • Broadcast TV • Anaglyphic • DVD • Anaglyphic • Some Active Stereo (computer based)

  10. Stereoscopic Displays for Video Games • Next Wave of S3D • “Avatar The Game” supports S3D • New PS3 S3D Games for 2010 • NVIDIA – S3D Driver Game Support • 3D Ready TV’s • Active Stereo • NVIDIA 3D Vision Bundle • Samsung SyncMaster (LCD 120 Hz) • LCD shutter glasses • IR Emitter • Anaglyphic • NVIDIA 3D Vision Discover • Anaglyph (red/cyan) glasses
