3D, Laser Phosphor Displays, and Pixel Qi are leading the display evolution

While the entire topic is certainly on the forefront of the minds of the industry, perhaps the most interesting developments are coming in the use of autostereoscopic 3D, aka 3D without glasses. Several companies showed us what they had to offer but Alioscopy USA merits a more detailed look.

Alioscopy is a 3D technology provider who has been in development of 3D technologies for the past fourteen years. Alioscopy’s 3D display product, the 3DHD, features a highly specialized lenticular lens over a flat panel display that results in a true immersive 3D experience for the viewer without the need for glasses. At InfoComm, Alioscopy USA and Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, a Germanybased research institute, announced a strategic partnership that will offer digital signage as well as creative and production companies specializing in trailers for motion pictures, one of the first services that will “unlock the long standing barrier of converting stereoscopic (two-view) 3D footage and content into Alioscopy-ready, auto-stereoscopic ‘no-glasses’ 3D.” Both organizations understand that two of the largest barriers for B2B markets such as entertainment venues and digital signage for tradeshows and events have been the need for a glasses- free stereoscopic 3D medium and a solution for converting existing stereoscopic 3D footage to a multi-view format for playback on autostereoscopic 3D displays.
