TRIDELITY Stages the New Nike Soccer Shoes HYPERVENOM in 3D

TRIDELITY AG, the technology leader and pioneer in the field of glasses-free 3D display technology, is now showcasing the new Nike soccer shoes HYPERVENOM at Nike's Paris flagship store. As with all its products, Nike uses high-quality materials and the newest technologies, so it's no surprise the company chose a compatible high-tech presentation medium to present its new shoes - the astonishing glasses-free 3D POS solution from TRIDELITY.

Autostereoscopic 3D trainnings avialable.

Tridelity is offering in June and July Training on glasses-free technologies. The subscription can be done directly on the Site https://www.tridelity.com/workshop.
Some of the topics of the trainnings can be seen on youtube under http://www.youtube.com/user/mlopes3d?feature=guide

BIG Video Walls in Glasses-Free 3D Available Now!

TRIDELITY is the first manufacturer worldwide to present glasses-free 3D video walls in 3x3 (165") and 2x2 (110") with slim bezel. Out-Of-Home 3D advertising in huge dimensions becomes a reality. The main features of our Walls are:

• Glasses-free 3D in fantastic dimensions of up to 14 feet screen-size and up to 80 square feet screen surface
• Viewing distances of 50 feet or more - custom distances available.
• Extremely high resolution – each screen is a Full-HD 55” model – already the 2x2 model runs on QUAD-HD resolution
• Extremely slim bezel of just 0.2 inches per screen thanks to “ultra narrow bezel” technology
• Both, the slim design as well as the 3D depth performance throughout the whole screen are more than convincing
• Alternative models such as 7x1, 3x2 or 3x4 Walls are available upon request – Tridelity´s unique portrait (vertical) screen format also as Wall available
• Up to 5760x3240 pixels of breath-taking glasses-free 3D
• An all-round, worry-free package. TRIDELITY delivers the Walls already pre-configured with all Hardware needed for 24/7 operation

Stereoscopic Player 1.6.5 supports Tridelity multiview displays.

Stereoscopic Player is a versatile 3D movie player. It allows you to play stereo­scopic videos and DVDs (external decoder required) and also allows you to watch live video from a capture device. Since it is based on Direct­Show, it can handle almost any media format, for example AVI, MPEG, WMV, ASF and MOV. Videos can be coded in several different stereo­scopic formats. Please see the feature list for supported input and output formats.

3D PDF now also in stereo without glasses

The company more3d offers a software that allows DirectX based software show 3D without glasses.

The new moreStereo DX/GL 5.6 is the most versatile stereo generation software on the market. It gives customers the ability to show major 3D applications in vivid 3-D stereo. Seeing a virtual environment or product so real that you want to touch it is a key advantage for critical engineering reviews as well as for exciting customer presentations.

•     Shows major 3D applications in 3-D stereo
•     Ideal for Architecture, Planning, CAD/CAM VR or Simulation
•     Allows for simple engineering and customer 3D-presentations
•     Connects to all 3D displays from TRIDELITY.
•     Professional established platform: Windows XP 32/64-bit

From kitchen planning software on regular PC’s to CAD on professional 64 Bit Workstations – no matter what application you are using – moreStereo DX/GL will turn it into 3D stereo in an instant. Unlike “3D gaming drivers”, moreStereo DX/GL is targeted to professional users that require 3D stereo from within the application, full control of the 3D stereo effect and advanced features for virtual reality projections.

Postproduction from 3D films for autostereoscopic displays

Vienna, 28th March 2011 – the young Austrian company emotion3D achieved its first commercial success with the preparation of a new advertising spot for the BMW X3. emotion3D won a valuable contract with BMW thanks to its powerful software solution for post-processing 3D films. 

The 3D advertising clip will be shown in numerous showrooms worldwide, at selected locations in auto-stereoscopic 3D, i.e. without the need for the user to wear special 3D glasses. emotion3D converted the 3D cinema version of the advertisement to a 3D film format for “glasses-free” displays, enabling viewers to be drawn into a futuristic virtual world.

The 3D market has a future. Nearly all box office hits are now released in 3D. Due to the increasing demand for 3D films, the need for professional editing tools for 3D film material is growing correspondingly – a trend that emotion3D recognized in 2009 as a business opportunity.

This market demand motivated emotion3D to develop an innovative software solution for post-processing 3D film-material, which synthesizes camera perspectives at positions between the filmed cameras. This enables film sequences to be optimally customized to any kind of 3D display – not only traditional ones that require the user to wear glasses, but also the latest generation of “glasses-free” 3D displays.

Checklist for creating stereo content

1.      Cross-talk
Stereoscopy is never perfect; there will be always some kind of leakage from one perspective view reaching the wrong eye. Make sure to limit the parallax before cross-talking gets too high.

2.      Motion
Make sure that things that have high parallax are not moving too fast. Especially if they have negative parallax.

3.      Interposition
This is one of the most common errors nowadays. Content creators tend to add objects to stereo scenes in post-production and they forget the objects that are in front of others should hide them. How often have I seen objects going through other objects and completely destroying a good 3d movie.

4.      Interference
Sometimes there might be structures that repeat themselves in a certain frequency, like the bars on a jail. A problem might occur if this frequency matches the parallax separation. This can lead to very disturbing images and increase the possibility of people getting headaches.

5.      Camera changes
Event changing the camera settings too often. You might already have noticed that movie trailers in 3D are usually more difficult to see than the movie itself. This is due to the frequent cut to scene with different focus and parallax values.

6.      Negative Parallax
Avoid using too much of negative parallax on longer movies. Viewers will find positive parallax (behind the screen) more comfortable.

7.      Contrast
Avoid high contrast on scenes with high parallax. One of the main problems here is due to the LCD technology. Neighbor pixel will tend to light up a bit causing ghosting which will destroy the parallax.

8.     A 3D Display is a window!
Treat the 3D display as a window. Things that should come out through the windows must fit completely inside it. If you try to move something out of the window and it touches the border, the object should stay where it is!
