Japanâs National Institute of Information and Communications (NICT) joined its hands with JVC Kenwood to develop a 200-inch auto-stereoscopic Full HD 3D display. It is being endorsed as the largest glasses-free 3D display till date. The screen lets you to see a video from 57 different viewpoints which imply that you can also see the sides of 3D pieces. The weight of the 200 inch display is around 500 kg (1100 pounds). This display has a condenser lens system that focuses the light for acute images together with a special diffuser film that produces an even transition amongst separate angles of view.
What is it?
Three dimensional display is an equipment proficient in communicating a stereoscopic perception of 3D depth to the viewer. Glasses free 3D display is a system with full high definition resolution with 57 effective viewing angles. It enables the users to look at 3D pictures from different angles. The viewing angles do their job in such a way that if you were looking at a box, you could actually shift to the side of the screen and see the side of the box. It is an auto-stereoscopic display. Auto-stereoscopic display technologies use ocular parts in the display, instead of being worn by the user, to facilitate their eyes to see a different image. This means you can see 3D images on this display without using 3D goggles.
Key features
It has a 200 inch display. Users donât require 3D goggles while seeing the video on screen. It employ 57 projectors in an assortment with each one tuned to generate uniform levels of vividness and color equilibrium. The different viewing angles for the display are a slight 13 degrees.
Whatâs innovative?
The heavily built 1,000-plus-pound built is not a common appearance. Not every day one gets to see such a huge beast in display technologies. It comprises of a condenser lens in conjunction with a diffuser film to steady the transformation between viewing angles.
The up side
This Glasses-Free 3-D Display lets you see videos from 57 different angles. From each angle you can see a full HD resolution picture. In a usual display, the viewing range is mainly around 180 degrees, however with this Glasses-Free 3-D Display, its 13 degrees, which is much tapered. And inside that range, for instance if you see the images at the display from the right side and the left side, you can see the picture from different angles on both sides. And best part is that you don’t need 3D glasses for this display. This display can be used at the places like shopping malls. Its inventors are looking forward to bring its enhanced version with 200 different viewpoints.
The down side
This display technology can be an amazing experience but there are some limitations also. This display has not been developed for the consumer market yet. It was initially visualized for design and digital-signage appliances. So, its market may not be that large. Also, its 500 kg weight could cause some problems.
Our experience
This display can make its users to go through some great viewing experiences. Having 57 projectors connotes that you can view the pictures from 57 different viewing angles and an astounding result of this feature is that you can actually look at the side of objects on the screen. And the best thing is that 3D viewing goggles are not required. This display can be placed in places like shopping centers or a public place where people gather in large number together to watch the football matches or any other popular event.
The bottom-line
Glasses-Free 3-D Display is an attention grabbing development. You can see the videos in 3D that too without 3D goggles. And though this display has not been developed for consumer market, it doesn’t mean you can’t be hopeful about having it someday under your roof. Most of the experts and industry giants believe that once this product will be up for grabs by the general public, this will be as revolutionary as a simple black and white TV had been. This is a real innovation which is expected to change the lives of many.
