FullDepth™ 3D vision and stereoscopic vision
In everyday life our eyes are positioned in such a way that the space between them makes us see a scene with two slightly offset views. Our brain merges and interprets these two visual clues to seize and produce an image in FullDepth™ 3D.
Based on this principle, stereoscopy reproduces depth from two flat images. With 3D cinema the objective is to simulate this 3D perception by producing two images slightly offset of the same scene, one for each eye and view them through special glasses.
Auto-stereoscopy
Auto-stereoscopy allows you to see in 3D without glasses. Instead, it is the screen that wears the glasses. The user is positioned so that each eye receives only the image that it is meant to see. We present here only two of the different techniques used: parallax barriers and lenticular.
Parallax barrier
Invented by Berthier in 1896, the barrier is composed of opaque and transparent zones, and alternatively conceals the images destined to each eye.
Lenticular screens
Invented by Gabriel Lippmann in 1908, and applied in 1920 by Hess, the photographer Maurice Bonnet perfected the system which was adapted to video in the 90’s. The perception of depth is obtained through a network of microlenses (lenticular network) placed in front of a 2D screen. It sends each eye a different image and the brain reconstruct the depth.
For both, the correct position of the viewer is necessary although today “multi-scopic” systems are increasing which liberate the viewer from stringent positioning by presenting not two, but several points of view of a same scene (5, 8, 9 and more) allowing several viewer to see the same scene together.
3DTV Solutions unique technology
We went back to the fundamentals of the 3D image to create tools specifically dedicated to 3D vision, instead of assembling or transforming existing 2D techniques. The result is a new model to produce DIRECTLY coherent multi points of view FullDepth™ 3D images, in real time, live or recorded to be seen with or without glasses.
Our technology breakthrough has given us the lead to be the first to conceive and develop a camera system designed specifically to film live real images in their 3 dimensions, visible without glasses for easy industrialization.
Our suite of software solutions answers the specific needs of the market for 3D applications.
Our unique technology and patents guarantee the volumetric integrity of the 3D images seen on all the auto-stereoscopic screens available on the market today and in the future.
