3D TV overview

Mostly talks about the distributor/consumer end but worth reading.

Thanks for pointing out the article. I thought it was a fair assessment indeed.  Anyway, everyone have a great weekend. NH

Hi Slackdc !Very nice article, this is my understanding of the situation, right now.The sequence look like that :Producer of 3D content, which may use the Isee3D cameraThe decoder of 3D content on different type of equipment like TV (TV on plane), Computer, Cell, promotional screen, Cinema, Gaming industry too, may use the technology of Sensio a cie from MtlSENSIO®3D TECHNOLOGY3D high

In the first real major phase of Isee3D, and I include a couple of years when it was International Telepresence, we brought into the market a unique single lens, single camera system for minimally invasive surgery. It worked successfully, but always at the very limit of the display technology's capabilities.  The ORs had conventional monitors to display the 3D that had to be maxed out for

Correct me if I am wrong but I was under the impression that ISee3D had a shutter design patent and protoype and not a camera system. What exactly does ISee3d want to license?

[slackdc]

Yes, I remember the bad old days when ICT tried to focus on internet "content".  {:-\  But then those were tough times.I whole heartily agree that convergence and timing are excellent and our new model will make the differencethis time.I'm sure competition will arise, but we're not in a standards race, and there will be room for all; until thesuperiority of ICT's

[slackdc]

Great questions!  I'm sure Mr. Horsely can answer them better, but I would make a comment onSENSIO.  They have great technology and great patents, however they are in an area that is likelyto be standardized and that usually leads to a much tougher battle including patent challenges.ICT, which will probably have to defend it's patents someday too, has only  to be very

I am not technical - that is I am not engineer.  However, at the end of the day, the Sony system is twin camera. Any time you're dealing with two sensors, they have to be perfectly matched. They're also twice as expensive as one.  By getting excellent HD 3D out of one camera as we do, we're very much ahead on cost, and when you think of how small cellphones are, only having

Audrey, the original base patent is a stereoscopic viewing system patent that covers endoscopes, borescopes, microscopes, video cameras, and film cameras. We pioneered an endoscopic 3D camera system in the 90s for NTSC video display.  It was a palm sized endoconverter as we called it which coupled onto rigid endoscopes.  Today, we have two proof-of-concept HD 3D cameras and more on order

Ok, I understand, I'm not and engineer either.  But I believe all single lens T systems (includingISee3D and Sony)  simply split the image stream from the lens into 2 streams.   What happens tothe separate images is up to the device receiving them, e.g. the prototype cameras.Probably they are captured separately by 2 different image capture devices within one "

Isee3D is in the business of licencing a better way of capturing two different perspectives for most 3D creation scenarios and creating sublimely comfortable 3D imaging. Again, it's an enabling technology.  We want to be the 'Intel Inside' the camera, whether it's in a cellphone, camcorder etc.  We capture two different perspectives through one lens.  Imagine a

I talk recently with an expert on 3D, and he confirm, next area of non glasses 3D is small screen.Like Mobile, small screen TV like in a plane, Ipod screen. 1 to 2 yearsNext step small PC screen 7'' or less, but not yet. 3 to 4 years.For TV and flat sceen panel 5 to 10 years.RED2000

Thanks Red. I basically agree with those time frames, especially flat screen TVs.  Small devices first, then working up. Of course, with the 3D industry accelerating so fast now, we might even see top quality autostereoscopic large screens even quicker than five years, but for now, that figure looks very doable. Nigel.
